FoE Forest Conservation

Friends of the Earth own a bit of forest land in my city, which is about a thirty minute bike ride from where I live, and today I signed up to help out with moving logs, cutting grass, and chopping wood. It was a first for me to wield a wood axe, and it was sweaty work, but there's just something so therapeutic about swinging an axe and splitting wood...

[One of the volunteers had brought in some taro, konjac and homemade sansho (Japanese pricklyash) miso to share.]
