Mount Allen Eco Tours

We offer ecology, biodiversity and agriculture based farm tours and workshops on moth trapping, bog conservation and more. We are open all year round.

Ukrainian refugees living in Roscommon have been growing their own food with the support of local farmer Tommy Earley @EcoAllen . I harvested potatoes with them this week for a report airing tomorrow on @RTERadio1 @RTECountryWide

Thoroughly enjoyed yesterday evening's chat in Dowra's old Courthouse.

We talked about the unique and rich landscape of west Cavan and Leitrim around the catchment of #UpperShannon and #LoughAllen. A beautiful part of the country. Andy King and Tommy Earley in action below.

The community sowed the oat seed in April and today we harvested them with a meitheal on @EcoAllen Farm on the shores of Lough Allen. There was music, song, dance, homemade food, farming advice and lots of chat and laughter.

A mighty morning making straw hats on @EcoAllen farm with the best of company. People form all across Ireland learning to make the hats and get the Mumming tradition reignited in their communities.

One of my favorite parts of the Farm Trail.. that transition from farm to lake.

As the summer slowly arrives we thought it might be nice to organize a tour focused specifically on biodiversity, viewing all the birds and flowers that are currently on show!

Due to the success of our first two
outings, we’ve decided to run the #DawnChorus events again next weekend. It is a wonderful opportunity to listen to beautiful birdsong as we walk though the various habitats on our farm. And as an rare treat we may even hear a #curlew sing!

[Mount Allen Eco Tours @EcoAllen]

Thank you to all who attended our
#DawnChorus tour early this morning, it was wonderful to be able to run events again. We have a small number of places available on
tomorrow’s event at 4.30am. Please contact 0862536672 to book your place!

The dawn chorus has begun and with the easing of restrictions on outdoor attractions from the 26th we’ve decided to hold our first event of the year.
