On
Saturday last the Tuatha volunteers and members of the local Ukrainian
community enjoyed a cultural meal together in the Terryland Forest Park.
Since
2022 and the brutal invasion of their country by the imperialistic Putin regime,
Tuatha volunteers have worked with Ukrainians to develop a small woods
in the forest park planted with trees native to both Ireland and
Ukraine, namely oak, birch, alder and willow.
The
destruction of forests, meadows, rivers and seas of Ukraine along with
their indigenous trees, insects, fish, birds and mammals due to the war
has been enormous.
Since time immemorial, the hidden innocent victims of human warfare has always been the natural world and its denizens.
Modern
high tech weaponry has only increased the level of destruction as we
sadly witness today all over the world including in Gaza, Congo,
Myanmar, Sudan and Ukraine.
On
Saturday we unveiled a preview of a planned exhibit of a Ukrainian
artist from Kharkiv based primarily on the theme of nature and
femalehood
