The leaves change colour and fall from the trees and we’re reminded that Autumn is here!
During the summer months you may have been a bit more flexible with your sleep schedule, because the sun would shine for longer, and you had more energy thanks to the warm weather. However, as the night’s start to draw in and the days get shorter, it’s a good idea to try to stay consistent with what time you go to bed and wake up each day.
A consistent sleep and wake time allows your body to fall into a sleep routine, and aids you to sleep more peacefully.
In 1999, World Poetry Day was introduced, with the aim of promoting the reading, writing, publishing, and teaching of poetry around the world.
It is an opportunity to appreciate the power of poetry and how it can capture the creative spirit of the human mind.

The holiday break is an essential time for children to recharge and take a mental break from the daily routine of schoolwork and busy daily agendas. It gives them the chance to relax, unwind, and 'choose' to engage in activities that they like.
When a 'holiday' break is respected and valued as its meaning, it helps children develop new skills and interests. They may have time and space to explore or try new activities that they wouldn't have had time for during the school year. This exploration can lead to developing new skills and interests + supporting their personal growth and well-being.

For ecological restoration of a forest edge or mini-wilderness area, make sure you identify ALL your plants, big and small, wanted and unwanted, including the new ones that have appeared over summer.
Then, consider what will be the likely result from reducing or removing each of the weeds. Which ones first? How much to remove at once? What will replace them, and how quickly?
We can never be sure what Nature will do, but care and experience make the difference between producing an endless cycle of "tidy-ups" in unwelcoming conditions, and producing a haven of unique and unexpected beauty and birdsong, resilient to wind, rain and sun, and resistant to weed invasion.
In areas bordered by forest, our well-tested techniques of weed control support strong, diverse native revegetation, without chemicals or the need for planting.
As a forest edge is freed from weeds, native plant communities form spontaneously. Each native grass, moss, fern, shrub or vine finds its niche.
From ground level to the treetops, there is always something new to discover and watch, all the year round. However, the still, damp days of Autumn are the most lush. Bursting with potential for change: fallen branches creating room for growth; dry leaves and weeds becoming compost; dry bare earth yielding baby ferns and tree seedlings.
Autumn is a beautiful time to explore and enjoy the year's growth, while taking the next steps in restoration.
