#424: A year of Environmental Lunacy

The NAEE is sharing a Year of Environmental Lunacy. 

There will be a monthly post looking at the full moon which occurs in that year. These have a name which often stems from America and Canada's Indigenous / first nation people, and the world they lived in, but that means they are not always appropriate for the UK.

This project is about suggesting a name which fits with the UK's wildlife.

The first one has just gone up, with Paula Owens suggesting that we call the Wolf Moon (January's full moon - which occurs tomorrow) as the Fox Moon.

Delighted to say that I will be contributing one of the monthly posts later in the year.

Check back each month to see a different author suggest an alternative new name for that month's full moon.
