but she’s the one they highlight when it comes to environmental and ecological stewardship.
I’m all for the scheme, though.
That makes sense. If the land is not being used for farming or for growing your own vegetables / fruits or as flower bed, what use does a plain grass square has? Just to mow it? Much better to transform it to a sanctuary for birds, hedgehogs, etc.

Its been said plenty of times before but imo biodiversity will always struggle if the farmers dont chill out cutting hedgerows. These patches of unused land mentioned in the article are great but they are small and few. I dunno who has convinced farmers over the last 20 years that continuously cutting their hedgerows to the scut was the way to go but addressing that would greatly improve biodiversity in this country.
Obviously I’m not talking about hedgerows along the road that affect road safety.
I’m just holding out hope for the return of the Irish Rainforest.
At one stage, most of Ireland was covered by temperate rainforests – a really unique climate which doesn’t exist in most of the world.
To support this, we need to implement land reforms which encourage community co-ops focused on biodiversity and rewilding, connecting communities with nature and building thriving communities!
