The Calendar Story

CES' goal, a Cortes Community Forest, starts with 'Community'. Bearing all, undeveloped rolls of film were submitted by the Cortes community on the theme of 'HOME.' The result is this evocative commentary on the island's social diversity; diversity key to community health. So many compelling photos were submitted that we produced a double calendar - 12 months of 'Grace' & 12 months of 'Grit.'

Enjoy both full calendars, each with its own cover. Every photo is also accompanied by a compelling quotation - tension for thought. The journey has been a true joy!

All funds raised in support of the CES Community Forest Vision.

Excerpts from the 'Grace' side ...


If we are to save what is wild, we need to know the wild within which we live. Community Forestry is simply local people making local decisions about the wild beyond our doorsteps. We on Cortes are not alone in wanting the decision-making about our public forests to come home.












Excerpts from the 'Grit' side ...


Just look around you: so many of us are so deeply disconnected from the ground beneath our feet. So many of us do not know the creatures, let alone spirits, with whom we share this world. If we are to come home and get gritty, we need purpose. What better purpose is there than taking responsibility for our wild places? This is Community Forestry.
