I have one spare ticket for the long sold-out premiere of An Irish Atlantic Rainforest at the Dublin International Film Festival next week. Like and repost this if you'd be interested in the chance of coming along for free!
Eoghan Daltun 🌍@irishrainforest.bsky.social · 6mo agoI'm totally pinching myself announcing this, but a film about my life journey rewilding a West Cork farm, An Irish Atlantic Rainforest, will get its first screening at the Dublin International Film Festival on Saturday the 28th of this month. Tickets are available here: www.diff.ie/programme/an...
What looks like a dark morph Lapwing seen at #RSPBGreylake #Somerset this morning. It was very aggressive to any other Lapwing that came to close.
The government doesn't care about what is coming for you and your children. There is no climate action or leadership.

As pointed out in the comments, you are more likely to see shitehawkery like this on weekends as nobody official out and about. Tanks are probably full, deadline coming up for spreading - farmers are under pressure, but stuff like this is not gonna help them in long term.
Killian Hurley@killianhurley.bsky.social · 6mo agoWhat can be done about this? Slurry spreaders out today in waterlogged fields beside the Boyne River - total madness and against regulations. Water quality is deteriorating and there is little enforcement. @whittledaway.bsky.social @irishrainforest.bsky.social

Time and time again, I see NPWS submissions and reports ignored & overlooked Take a look at their submissions for development/forestry - there is no real desire to give NPWS the power it should have NPWS raises concerns over dairy plant water abstraction - Agriland.ie share.google/oGMuY0uiqEYd...

This article sums up everything wrong with deer management atm. -Onus on an understaffed and underfunded NPWS to "fix" the problem. - Soundbite from a politician who would give out if staff taken from tourist role - Highlights one area returns when all of Kerry has high deer impact. And..... (1/2)

The same week in which the Nitrates Derogation was pushed through. This Government doesn't care for nature and climate, and is incapable of making things better. The majority of public won't notice the impact, until its too late. We need everyone angry about this now.

Thanks to everyone who braved the weather to join us tonight! We had a fantastic talk about the future of food and land use in Ireland by Dr. David Styles, Associate Professor in Agri-sustainability at the University of Galway.
Give it a decade or two, and this and many other spots like it in the southwest will be lost to a thick tangle of invasive rhododendron, requiring unimaginable time and energy to remove. Why is this unfolding calamity being ignored by the authorities?
Don't miss @bsbibotany.bsky.social's brilliant winter webinar on clubmosses...a great time to learn about these ancient plants, as they're something you can go out and look for all year (snow permitting ❄️) @cedar-ni.bsky.social @npwsireland.bsky.social @rewildingire.bsky.social
