Living in a beautiful wild space on the Loop Head Peninsula in West Clare.
Planting trees, keeping things wild and natural. Trying to help nature and our planet one 'weed' at a time.

Growing up in rural Ireland there is an unspoken code that private property rights are supreme & you dont squeal on your neighbour.
That culture hasnt served our environment or communuties well & its a conversation that needs to be had.

Conflicted feelings: I complained about a local farmer spreading slurry
A few days after the complaint, a tractor pulled into my yard. A man stepped out. I suppose I already knew how the conversation was going to unfold, writes Ray O Foghlú.

Cutting hedges and trees is generally illegal now until September due to Bird Nesting Season
Concurrently, annual reminder, it is illegal to take photos of an active nest without a licence.
The birds will thank you for abiding by both.

Whenever anyone laments the state we’re in, they’re met with a chorus of “but what do we do?” As plenty of good options are available, this response might often be wilful impotence*.
I invite you all to nominate in this thread the best proposals and practices, around which we should gather. Thanks

to introduce myself here on BlueSky. My book 'Wild Embrace' is a celebration of nature in Ireland. In it I hone in on a selection of habitats & wild animals; explore symbiosis in nature; and examine how we interact with our environment, through ancient beliefs, folklore & more recent cultural frames

1. We cannot now rule out the possibility of systemic collapse in the United States. If Trump and Musk paralyse the federal government, this could trigger social, financial and industrial failures. Neither Trump nor his team know how to respond to such failures, which could snowball and converge. 🧵

Of course, it's very far from comprehensive: I'll be adding to it over time!
