🧐How could a board (RSB) block the expected #RighttoRepair initiative⁉️

How might we repair a forest?
Delighted to see @nativewoodlandtrust in Ireland’s @repairacts exhibition focusing on the expansion of the wood into the surrounding fields. #Rewilding & #restoration are key to Ireland’s climate change mitigation & #biodiversity.

[Native Woodland Trust @NativeWoodTrust]

We were delighted to be invited to participate in the @repairacts Ireland exhibition over the weekend.
We, together with our Westmeath Branch, ran a walk in the beautiful Ardan Wood, focusing on the expansion of the wood into the surrounding fields.

[Native Woodland Trust @NativeWoodTrust]

We were also invited to attend and participate in planting led by @ForestsPocket in the garden of one of our branch members.
The whole day went really well and congratulations to @repairacts Ireland for putting together a jam-packed, diverse and very popular events programme

[Ireland's Environmentalists @IrelandsEnviro]

18. We were invited to attend tree planting with @ForestsPocket this afternoon too as part of the @RepairActs Exhibition. This was a great example of how much planting can be done in a really small area and gives us hope for more space for woodlands in urban areas
