Galway Farmer multato per la distruzione di un raro habitat di pavimentazione in calcare

4 hectares destroyed and only fined 9k.. terrible.

Worked for a business in the outdoor activity industry a few years ago and they bought an old native forest and converted it into a activity area for games/kayaking etc. Absolutely destroyed the place. Cut down old native trees, displaced wildlife (birds and frogs), and put wood chip down everywhere. Just a shame that we’ve so little respect for what precious native habitats we have left.

Back home in Donegal I used to volunteer with a local rivers/ wildlife group

When it began the idea was to remove invasive stuff like knotweed and Himalayan Balsam and regular clean ups, it quickly became an impossible battle against local farmers and the absolute carnage they carryout constantly. Honestly some of the shit you see feels spitefully pointless

I have no doubt the reason they’re so quick to object to greenways is because they know it’ll be that much harder for them to get away with it

Not that when they do get caught much of a fuck happens anyway
