How can we communicate conservation issues without alienating the very people we need to reach? And what happens when a creative professional decides to transform four fields in Wicklow into a biodiversity haven while documenting every step for others to follow?

The constant chopping and changing of budgets for nature friendly land management shows that while we do need to support nature friendly farming, we also need land for nature which is removed from the need to endlessly earn an income - either through public or charitable ownership or something else.

Instead, their Planning Bill contains a licence to destroy it.
We offered solutions. We’re done waiting.
Part 3 of the Bill would gut the laws protecting our most precious habitats & species.
Without significant change, it must be scrapped.
