Projects & Practice

A project that has ensured the conservation and reuse of traditional farm buildings across Ireland.

This pan-Slovenian project is designed to combat the consequences of natural disasters that have affected forests across the country in the last six years. The project includes sustainable measures to restore damaged forests, adapting them to climate change, and is focused on areas that are under the greatest pressure. 
 

Offering support to maintain and possibly increase populations of specific rare breeds under the Rural Development Programme 2014-2020 of Ireland.
 

A family farm invested in soil conservation practices to increase its capacity to store water and its microbial biomass activity.

Support from the Swedish Rural Development Programme helped improve accessibility for visitors in a restored municipal nature reserve.

The North Connemara Locally Led Agri-Environmental Scheme is a local agricultural scheme to incentivise farmers to incorporate agricultural animals in improving the ecology of their land. 

The project took nature-friendly vine cultivation on a family farm a step further to develop zero-waste processing methods that valorise all by-products of grapes in a sustainable and fully circular way. The resulting seeds, oil and flour have proved very popular with customers.

Planting new woodland under a scheme in a partnership between Forestry services, a local authority and the local community.

Restoring the production potential of damaged forests through clearing, afforestation and preservation of young forest stands. 

Restoration of a deteriorating forest road and the construction of a wooden lookout tower in order to protect 1500 ha of forest from forest fires.
