To echo Leonardo’s passion for Nature and as part of the long-term creation of Leonardo’s Garden, Le Clos Lucé and its young visitors are involved in a project of co-development and sustainable development, paying part of each child’s entry fee to the NGO “SOS SAHEL”.
The objective is to finance a programme of reforestation in the Sahel, the vast arid region that borders the south of the Sahara. Following in Leonardo's footsteps, Le Clos Lucé thus intends to make each of its visitors aware of the need to protect the environment and, more specifically, of the questions of desertification and reforestation.
After 36 years of working across the drylands of the Sahel, we at SOS Sahel International UK has closed its doors. We have completed our goal: our partners, SOS Sahel Sudan and SOS Sahel Ethiopia, are now experienced, effective and sustainable organisations that have the resilience to face daily challenges.

through the day, we age and gain experience. When
we tire at day's end, we 'die' and take our rest.
That one arc justly serves as a miniature of
our entire life."

l analysis & appraisal, I said that there were obviously two directly opposed categories of criticism - constructive & destructive - to which he replied never ever apologise for offering constructive criticism - while all those around you perceive ALL criticism to be destructive.Reality is not just the bad; it is also the good.
The mind requires an awareness of both in order to work at its best.
For one who has conquered the mind, the mind is the best of friends,
but for one who has failed to do so, his/her very mind will be the greatest enemy.
- as Carl Jung so rightly stated -
THE most terrifying thing is to accept oneself completely.
When one considers the actions of our "masters of the globe" - I invariably amuse
myself by thinking about Leonardo da Vinci's take on them, which was that they were -
"as wise as the wind they fart from their arses"

HING whatsoever that takes nourishment
continually dies and IS constantly renewed; because nourishment
can only enter in those places where the preceding nourishment
is exhausted, and IF IT IS exhausted it no longer has LIFE."
