Month: February 2024

This brilliant collaboration is bound to be a hit:

As you can see in the photo, the land group Wetlands team meet up with Dan Westbury from Radnorshire Wildlife Trust’s Wilder Lugg Project, Sarenta King from the Wye Adapt to Climate Change Project and Tony Norman, Herefordshire farmer intent on saving the endangered native Black Poplar. (We may be planting some Black Poplar on the land – you can expect a blog post about this at some point.)

Here is some of the Pondlife seen:

This tree was planted at Greenstreete in memory of Jon Riehl, a North American Samatha practitioner who died in August 2022 after a long and painful illness. Jon was a much-loved  member of the Samatha community. Prior to his illness, he had practiced with Nai Boonman both in the US and at Greenstreete. He died just as the 35 Year Anniversary of Greenstreete & Nai Boonman 90th birthday celebrations were coming to an end and shortly before the final transference of merit.
