One more thing:
Eoghan Connaughton (Project Lead) is a master’s student at Trinity College Dublin researching ‘Rewilding Post-Productive Landscapes‘. This enterprise is guided by an inter-county and international community of skill-sharing volunteers. We’re also working with Green Belt Ltd (registered foresters).
We will hold meitheals (volunteer days) to rewild the site with workshops and lectures; all patrons will be invited to participate.
