North Downs Ecologies

Monday, March 1st, 2010

The North Downs have more than one habitat. A lot of people don’t realize that because they’ve only visited part of it. However, by paying close attention and spending more time in that area of the country, it becomes much easier to see that there is a variety of wildlife to take note of. Because these environments are so different from one another, they can support all kinds of creatures and plant life. It makes the North Downs a fascinating place to visit and spend time examining. If you like nature, North Downs is the place to go.

Some of the most beautiful of the places available are woodlands. These cover a lot of the area, and they’re home to creatures and plants that you just might not see that many other places. Years ago, though, there was a lot more to the woodlands than there is now. Human clearing has removed a large number of trees, and they haven’t come back. They’ve been kept down by continued clearing and haven’t been given the opportunity to grow into large forests again. The areas that are still woodland, though, offer a lot of beautiful trees like oaks and chestnuts.

Knowing about Nature

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2009

In the midst of a glut of information and with a risk of drowning in a sea of information through the wonders of internet technology we are somewhat dazed at the extent of human intelligence and skills that allow experts to achieve material success in so many areas.

We can respond to this explosion of information by becoming even more dazed to the extent where our own initiatives become paralysed, or we can feel motivated to accomplish what it is that we consider is worthwhile and will bring us personal life satisfaction.

Once we have determined a purpose for our creative efforts we would be best to realise that we should have Nature onside. Nature has the power to create new life. It directed our growth and mended our bodies when hurt. It causes sunrise and sunset and allows us to enjoy all that the earth beauties on offer. It is willing to co-operate with us in our desire to cultivate particular plants and living things. Nature commands that we sleep so it can repair our bodies and our psyche. It orchestrates all our body functions, even the heart- that we do not have to keep beating. There are so many miraculous events that prove to us the power, intelligence and benign aims of Nature that assure us of our continued welfare and well being on this planet.
