How (and why) this Nature Forum was created🧵

[Togher Community Garden @GardenTogher]

Getting our raised beds topped up and planting in some seedlings, we had a rosemary and olive sourdough to go with our salad and potatoes from the garden,and Maria pickled some of our cucumber,our lunches are always so satisfying when you know you have planted it all yourself 🌱

Get ready to join our Autumn Survey, it starts on 15th September & runs for a month. We welcome seasoned & new Coastwatchers for this important #Citizenscience initiative to provide a snapshot of a part of your shoreline. Do 1 or many we value all https://t.co/pOdxYLza3I

Hedge cutting ban starts today until 31st August. Please report any breaches to @GardaTraffic @NPWSIreland & Local Authorities. It is a crime under the Wildlife Act with a few exemptions. Excessive cutting under the guise of H&S is not acceptable https://t.co/IOHFUyuaeS
