Fairy Fights & Community Action- Latoon Fairy Tree
This week we're digging into the magic of community by taking a quick peak into the Lagoon Fairy Tree (or Bush depending on who you ask) in Ireland. After being really sick for 2 weeks (and candidly really sad about what's happening with our Parks and Public Lands here in the US) this was a good reminder of what we can do when we work together. No action is too silly or too small when it comes to protecting our community. Thank you for being a part of mine.
