Dear Nick Wilding

This monthly newsletter puts you in touch with the latest action on the FierySpirits site. Get back
online soon!

Forum: Private Land... Public Benefit?

Kate Braithwaite's forum discussion asks about ways to value land managers' contributions to "national
targets for cabon reduction, renewable energy and water catchment management". This was inspired by the
Communities at the Edge? conference at Floors Castle, Kelso - see John Gold's blog entry and photos.

Forum: EcoTowns and EcoVillages

Offer Tony Kendle feedback about Eden's proposed new neighbour, an ecotown: "The actual eco-town
proposal begins at our front gate, and it extends over a territory where more than a third of our staff live. We
couldn’t ignore it." For an inspiring vision, check out the Cloughjordan Ecovillage, Tipperary video.

Events: Cashel Convention

Tipperary Institute hosted a highly successful convention. Feedback so far (leave yours here) heaps
praise on the field trips. Taste the energy we created together by watching the convention 2 minute video.

Groups: International Connections emerges

Tara (IACD) has created an 'International Connections' group. Why not welcome your new international
colleagues from the USA to Pakistan... (see, for example, Cornelia and Shakeel)? Welcome also to Debi
and Ben, IACD project workers. NOTE: Any member can create their own group (a mini 'CoP') within
FierySpirits.
