Our new hedgerow on the Bandon bypass needs some TLC. We are looking for volunteers to help out.

Really exciting project @NativeWoodTrust. Great to see woodlands being expanded. Any plans for a project in Cork?

From small acorns...
Efforts are under way to expand an ancient Irish woodland for the first time in over 200 years. Volunteers have been spending autumn weekends gathering nuts and seeds as part of plans to quadruple the size of Ardan Wood in Co Westmeath.

During June and July, @Stop_Food_Waste are campaigning for people to “know what meals you’re going to eat”. This can save time and money all while reducing food waste.

The https://t.co/GxYPLnBcEg website is a fantastic resource for cutting down on waste, check it out!
