SUMMARY:Big Vegan Hike + Picnic | Laragh\, Wicklow
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nJoin us for the first Big Vegan Hike + Picnic hosted by O
 ur Earthy Collective\n\n\n\n\n\nHappening just around the Summer Solstice\
 , this gathering feels like the perfect way to welcome the brighter\, long
 er days\, with nature\, good food\, and good people 🌿\n\nAfter many bea
 utiful hikes\, picnics\, café gatherings and connections through The Eart
 hy Marketplace community\, we’re so excited to continue this much-loved 
 series under a new home with Our Earthy Collective.\n\nOur Earthy Collecti
 ve is a community-led space built around shared values\, connection\, sust
 ainability\, and collective action. It’s an online gathering place to di
 scover\, share\, connect\, and take action together\, grounded here in Ire
 land and created for people who care about the planet\, community\, and cr
 eating positive change.\n\nThese days\, it can often feel like we’re all
  caring quietly in our own little corners\, scrolling endlessly\, worrying
  about the world\, and craving more meaningful connections. Our Earthy Col
 lective exists to bring people back together again. To turn shared concern
  into shared action\, and remind us that even small actions feel more powe
 rful when done collectively 🧡\n\nAnd that’s exactly what these hikes 
 are all about.\n\nFor this special summer gathering\, we’ll explore a st
 unning 9km trail near Laragh\, Co. Wicklow\, beginning at Brockagh Lane C
 ar Park (near the school)\, and following part of the Wicklow Way through 
 peaceful woodlands and scenic mountain views.\n\nWe’ll hike through the 
 beautiful Coill na Luise native woodland reserve\, meaning “wood of the 
 rowan”\, a reforested site cared for by the Native Woodland Trust. Overl
 ooking Annamoe\, this peaceful reserve is home to young oak and Scots pine
  trees grown from locally collected seeds 🌲\n\nExpect lovely conversati
 ons\, fresh air\, beautiful scenery\, and a welcoming group of like-minded
  people.\n\nAfter the hike\, we’ll gather for a relaxed vegan picnic &am
 p\; potluck in nature. Bring along your favourite vegan dish\, snack\, or 
 dessert to share\, homemade or shop-bought\, sweet or savoury\, all welcom
 e 🥗✨\n\nWhether you’re vegan or just veg-curious\, coming solo\, or
  joining with friends\, you are so very welcome!\n\nThis event is for you 
 if you’ve ever thought:\n\n🧡 “I wish I knew more vegans.”\n\n🧡
  “I’d love to meet more like-minded people.”\n\n🧡 “I want to sp
 end more time in nature.”\n\n🧡 “I’ve been vegan-curious and would
  love to connect with the community.”\n\n🧡 Or maybe… “I might mee
 t a cute vegan on a mountain?” 👀\n\nCome as you are\, just bring comf
 y shoes\, good energy\, and something tasty to share.\n\nEvent Details\n\n
