Restoring Ireland's native forests with Hometree
from Climate Conversations Hosted by Irish Doctors for the Environment
In this episode Callum takes a stroll through the forests of west Clare with Matt Smith and Ray Ó Foghlú from the Hometree Charity. Hometree is about land regeneration and connecting people to the process. They plant trees when it’s the right thing to do and have an expert team of advisors who guide them in the right direction. Their core value is stewardship. Through education and supporting increased awareness and consideration of Ireland’s natural environment, they hope to nourish a new way of relating to nature conservation and rehabilitation. Together they explore a hidden temperate rainforest and a Sitka spruce plantation in Clare. We discuss regenerative forestry, woodland conservation, connecting with nature, engaging the community, bringing farmers and landowners on board, how to help land return to native forests and their vision of the future of Irelands forests.
