\"rose2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Whilst living at my parents I joined Didcot and Wallingford Friends of the Earth.<\/p>\n

We went on demonstrations (B and Q mahogany etc) with Earth First and raised funds for tree-planting. I created this small ilustrated poetry booklet and sold 25 at \u00c2\u00a32 each which equivalent to 25\u00c2\u00a0new trees. I also took part in the actual tree-planting that happened based on the proceeds. If I ever take the train back to Didcot I can actually point to the clump of new trees in a field neat Cholsey,\u00c2\u00a0Oxon which this book created;-)<\/p>\n

I also showed a series of the down-land drawings behind Sir Julian Rose at the meeting below. My thanks to Beryl Davidson of F.O.E. at the time (and fellow Didcot poet Jonathan Davidson’s mum by the way:-) for helping produce the booklet.<\/p>\n
