Farm-scale and urban solutions for water management, repair and rewilding.
This workshop looks briefly at the role of conventional land and water management in creating many of the problems that we see around flooding, climate breakdown and the biodiversity crisis; then focuses on the solutions for turning these problems around. The beauty of land and water management solutions is that they are local by definition, and often within our direct power to create change. This course is solutions oriented and practical; building a toolkit of practical measures that can be adapted for any farm, urban area, or full stream or river catchment.
The workshops are designed to be of assistance to the farming community, community groups, tidy towns groups, farm advisors, local authorities, urban planners and others with an interest in keeping water clean, nature based flood prevention, climate resilience and biodiversity habitat repair, rewilding and enhancement.
We also offer individualised half- and full-day workshops to groups on the following topics:
Permaculture approaches to design of low impact, effective sewage and grey water treatment; landscape based flood control and water filtration; edible landscaping and community orchard creation.
Rewilding and the many ways in which we can enhance habitats in Ireland, large and small. We explore the key elements of landscape scale rewilding, giving land back to wildlife and bringing the wildlife back into the land: core, carnivores and corridors; looking at every scale from the work of Rewilding Europe to supporting pollinators in a window-box.
Climate solutions, carbon sequestration, local climate and ecological resilience tools and an exploration of landscape management on climate systems, allowing for local scale solutions to local scale issues while also improving the wider world and ecosystems.
Rewilding your local waterway – taking a site-specific approach to local streams and rivers. If you are part of a local community group who would like to take a deep look at your own local waterway(s) we can provide some site-specific training and guidance on how to proceed.
