Hometree’s Changing Landscapes Conference 2026

We’re going to discuss the big questions around nature restoration in Ireland — who has the power to make change happen, what’s slowing progress down, and whether Ireland is moving fast enough to meet its environmental obligations. The conversation comes ahead of the Changing Landscapes Conference taking place at the Falls Hotel in Ennistymon, organised by Hometree. The event will bring together Government representatives, landowners, investors, NGOs and community leaders to examine how Ireland can deliver restoration at the scale now required under the EU Nature Restoration Regulation. Alan Morrissey was joined by Ray Ó Foghlú, Engagement and Education Officer with Hometree, and Christopher O'Sullivan, Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.
