  • Liam Ó Maonlaí sings "Eleanór a Rún" at "The Invisible Tree" of Rostrevor Oak Wood.
    This performance is part of a series recorded by RARE (Rostrevor Action Respecting the Environment) which aims to verify the existence of "The Invisible Tree" of Rostrevor Oak Wood, and also, to expose the professional practice of wilful - blindness by "consultants" - including the tree consultant who denied the existence of this tree in his professional planning report supporting inner city style development adjacent to the Oak Wood.
    By touching and bearing witness to "The Invisible Tree" (so far in 17 different languages), environmental/common sense campaigners and artistes from around the world are playing a crucial part in developing awareness of the need to care for our environment and, at the same time, challenge those who object to the protection, or even the existence of our life support system of nature.

      So funny i am half German half Russian via my father's side married an Irish man now i play the whistle and my son is here back in Ireland being half Irish quarter German and quarter Russian and i stood on my local bog walk just 2 days ago touching a tree like him , a worry tree, that had a wooden carved hand on it saying : Put your hand here and leave your worries behind. I always imagine i give my grief and worry to the tree at that point. Very odd i should find this video and these comments here now 😮greetings and love to Russia i just paid the ransom (import tax) at the gate for another Russian made whistle today lol . My husband was so happy to be back after one generation abroad he died last year and we fell in love on first sight .

      it's not all mankind!! there are millions of Indigenous peoples around the world who know and love our kin and are fighting to protect our mother (not that every Indigenous person needs to be a land defender, nor every nation's practice "sustainable,", just existing amidst imperialism is hard enough...). our ancestors all knew at one point or another how to truly Live with the land where we were, truly knowing each individual relative around us in spectacular detail and with intimacy, that has simply been forgotten by a great many at this point.

I've watched Charleston, SC (one of the most Scotch-Irish places on the eastern seaboard) gentrify faster than I can blink in the last 10 years, and all I know is that something has to be done, but I've never been sure where to start without going to jail. :/ This kind of proud defiance is exactly the inspiration I needed. 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

People like Liam, yourself and the countless visitors from around the world who have all come to see or touch "The Invisible Tree" are helping to protect it and other trees by drawing attention to the uncomfortable truth that there are professional tree consultants who are prepared 'not to see', or deny the existence of, any part of nature that may stand in the way of the profits of those who have hired them for their special 'consultancy' methods.

    Grand singing or whatever, but I could not help noticing a minor issue with the invisible tree, I could see it quite clearly in this video, I mean FFS it has a big sign on it saying “the invisible tree” and you can quite clearly see that this sign is nailed to a tree. Now maybe I’m just nit picking but I could have sworn that the one quality that one would want in an invisible tree is that it not be visible.

    • @rarerostrevor8145
      @rarerostrevor8145  Рік тому +3

      Thanks for your visit and comment, Den. Some say that the sign is there in order to protect a certain tree consultant from walking into the tree! The back story here is that the professional tree expert in question inadvertently gave the tree international visibility by choosing not to see it when compiling a tree survey in support of a proposed development adjacent to it some years ago. Thanks to Liam and many other singers and visitors from around the world who have now verified the existence of this majestic old oak - so far, in twenty different languages - "The Invisible Tree" and its reputation continues to grow.
