A very educational afternoon with Astrid Wingler Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, UCC in the meadows at Bantry House& Garden talking about Plants, Climate and the Global Carbon Cycle. So much food for thought in changing times
#ellenhutchinsfestival #Heritageweek2023

For anyone in County Cork, I’ll be speaking at The Ellen Hutchins Festival in Bantry next Sunday 20 August about walking in the footsteps of this great botanist. Check out the festival programme - so many events celebrating nature and this shoreline.

A very interesting morning in the Big Meadow with Phoebe O'Brien @grasslandsirl. It is rare in modern times to see a lowland grassland that hasn't been fertilised, ploughed or reseeded in living memory, as evidenced by multiple ant hills many over 100 years old #HeritageWeek2023

A fascinating day in Glengarriff Harbour taking in marine wildlife large & small: Jane Sheehan talking Maude Delap and all things jellyfish; Brian O'Rourke @bantrybaytours catching crustaceans; & sightings of white-tailed eagles & seals #ellenhutchinsfestival #HeritageWeek2023

Really looking forward to this Ellen Hutchins Festival festival event tomorrow at one of the #GreatIrishGrasslands #GrasslandTrail sites 😀

Luck was with us as the rain stayed away for our first event of the 2023 Ellen Hutchins Festival: a walk looking at the coastal wildflowers along the O'Sullivan Mile, Trafrask. This is our 3rd year running this popular walk which was once again fully booked. #HeritageWeek2023
