Arboreal Humanities

Researchers who are really into trees and working toward developing the arboreal humanities. Keen to share ideas, recs, and action with others.

This morning, APD raided The Teardown House and arrested three organizers with @ATLSolFund.

The Solidarity Fund provides legal defense and bail support for first amendment protected activities in Atlanta and the surrounding area.

"The U.S. Forest Service estimates that cities are losing some 36 million trees every year, wiped out by development, disease and, increasingly, climate stressors, like drought."

The team @Tin_House told me that my book might arrive next week! 😲😭🥳 So I'm printing a little THANK YOU card for all the amazing contributors. It's a chubby bookmark with a handy key to THE LANGUAGE OF TREES 🌱

[Arboreal Humanities @ArborealHumani1]

wow!

[Arboreal Humanities @ArborealHumani1]

to wit > “It shouldn’t be allowed to happen...The process should be much, much easier for councils, and for communities, to bring land back into community hands where it can be looked after. It’s a climate emergency. And it’s crazy that these situations should still be here.”

Great that it is being saved, but seems wrong that it necessary to *raise money* to save this "rare surviving fragment of the Great North Wood."

[New School of the Anthropocene @NAnthropocene]

Congratulations to all connected with @FourthReserve: a heartening achievement!

@V21collective Susan Buck-Morss's "Aesthetics and Anaesthetics" has always been my go-to text on this issue; it teaches well. I also like Sara Danius's book a lot.

Winter trees make my heart happy 😍 For me, they turn a winter walk into a treasure hunt - there’s so much colour around if we look closely. I just *love* how they’re all exactly the same yet completely different at the same time, how head-pleasing is that?! 🤌

Brilliant turn out at the Dáil today. People came from all over Ireland to protest our “forest” policy. We want communities, not conifers. It’s time to reform Coillte. Thank you all for speaking for the trees. Did you hear our screams? @pippa_hackett @McConalogue #SaveOurForests

"In Atlanta, Georgia, calls are growing for an independent investigation into the police killing of an activist Wednesday during a violent raid on an encampment of protesters opposed to the proposed $90 million “Cop City” training facility in a public forest""

“No Cop City, No Hollywood Dystopia”

Y’all there’s a reason they want to build a major Hollywood film studio next to cop city— cops and Hollywood have a LONG history of partnering to create the copaganda we see in the vast majority of films and tv shows. It must be stopped.

[Defend the Atlanta Forest/Stop Cop City @defendATLforest]

Atlanta metro police raid a public park, murder a protestor so they can build a #CopCity in ATL. No officer name. No bodycam footage. No police accountability.
