I agree, Anja Murray that "the integration of biodiversity objectives across state agencies, especially for Bord na Mona, Coillte & the OPW, is now urgent" Their legal mandates must be changed so #PublicLand is managed in the public interest #RestoreNature irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/outd…

The Quakers were among the first to mobilise against the Slave Trade. Good to see their moral compass is still working three hundred years later.

Super nature spread in Irish Examiner 👏👏👏

Loving listening to this piece on Lapwing on RTÉ lyric fm with Anja Murray and team rte.ie/radio/lyricfm/… Lapwing are pretty fab. This is a really hopeful piece. Going from 2 pairs of breeding Lapwing to 70pairs at Cooldross wetland in Kilcoole. Conservation works. #RestoreNature

We did mention we had news? We've just acquired all of the Sheanadh Gharráin woods east of the Bhoth Loiscthe River in the Connemara Gaeltacht. 35 acres of rainforest awesomeness are now protected, plus 47 acres of space for them to stretch into !
