During the first event of ForestMe, in April this year, Alan McSmith took us through De Stille Kern, a beautiful nature reserve near Zeewolde where you can stroll freely. During that walk he showed us how incredibly beautiful nature is: nothing is a coincidence. At the same time, his question of whether we humans add any value to the earth right now was a confronting one. Following that apparent gap between humanity and Earth, Merel van der Lande interviewed Alan for ForestMe. It became an in-depth conversation about what is needed to reconnect man with (his) nature. And as the plantain grows next to the nettle, the remedy is also very close to us. Alan: "No one is immune to feeling the connection with nature, that ultimate moment of coming home."
