All that beautiful wood the joinery team is working with needs to come from somewhere and get prepared 🌳
Wood is such a wonderful natural material to work with. It’s is so strong while flexible and smooth. Every piece of work terns into a learning opportunity when feeling the organic shapes and how branches branch off, how seasons create different colours and density with the tough bark protecting a delicate system of nutrition and energy while capturing carbon through photosynthesis 🤯
It a beautiful example of Newton Dee’s circular economy with the trees growing on our beautiful estate, the team looking after the Estate practicing sustainable forestry, the material seasoning to be ready for milling. The wood being turned into furniture for our homes and community spaces where they are going to be appreciated for years to come. Being observant, specially engaged, present in the moment and appreciative of nature encapsulates so well what meaningful work in Camphill with its therapeutic qualities is all about.
