Description
We are an environmental [Not-for-Profit] working to increase biodiversity and tackle climate change by creating, using and spreading local solutions in West Cork, Ireland. Our projects are around issues of sustainability, biodiversity and climate action. We work with the local community, volunteers and like minded organisations on building awareness, knowledge and resilience into our rural and coastal community. Our focus is one of the few remaining native woodlands next to the sea, a recognised piece of Irish hertiage. We have established a centre for sustainability and climate action in 25 acres of woodland and gardens and are always looking for volunteers to support our mission here. We are a friendly organisation who host events, training, markets, community groups and ongoing work on developing our community woodland and gardening projects.
