Come and see a sacred fire being lit, a unique planting of a grove of native Irish trees - Oak, Ash, Yew, Holly, Rowan, Hawthorn, Hazel, all considered sacred in ancient Ireland. There is also a fund raising auction for the Woodland league, whereby the trees to be planted will be sponsored through bidding. A wish for each tree will go out to the four corners of Mother Earth for healing and hope for the future, radiated by the fire pit in the centre.
The trees are the guardians of the Earth. We are the guardians of the trees. It's time to take guardianship of our environment back into the community. It's time to embrace our trees, and encourage community tree planting to take responsibility for the effects of Climate Change into our own hands.
The tree auction will take place at artist wood sculptor Andrew St.Ledgers stall on Saturday at 7 pm in the Green crafts area, and the tree ceremony will happen at a site to be selected, on Sunday at 7pm.
2009 Will Be Captured In The First Ever User-Generated Book!
This year's Electric Picnic will be featuring in Festival Annual 09, the first ever user-generated book on the UK & Irish festival season, documenting the summer through photos and stories. The Festival Annual team will be on site snapping away, if they ask you to strike a pose, smile and then check-out the online galleries from Monday to see the results. You can also upload and tag your own festival pics - the best ones will be printed in the book.
Along with every photograph submitted having the chance to be published, anybody who tags themselves will get an automatic name-check in the book, as does anyone who uploads a photo. Want to get your review published, simply tweet #FA and enter the chance to get your views in print.
