Join landscape restorer Finnian Flood and eco-poet Grace Wells for a deep dive into the hopeful and positive story of Hometree, the native woodland charity which has launched the Wild Atlantic Rainforest and is working at the forefront of landscape restoration in Ireland.
Across a shared talk, Finnian and Grace will speak to the many positive projects Hometree is currently engaging in to tackle biodiversity loss and climate change, and of the countless ways people can get involved and connect with the hope in the trees to stay positive through our challenging times.
Following the conversation Finnian and Grace will lead a tree-planting workshop meeting at Regeneration Education space in the woods.
Grace Wells is an award-winning eco-poet and environmental writer. Her three poetry collections have all been published by Dedalus Press, most recently, "The Church of the Love of the World" which was shortlisted for the Farmgate Poetry Award and the Laurel Prize.
