Reforestation via the establishment of Miyawaki mini-forests brings numerous advantages to communities.
Project status: In Planning
We will undertake updated habitat and Kingfisher surveys along the River Lagan, its tributaries and other wetland sites across the Greater Belfast area to identify key nesting and foraging areas as well as to identify and map potential constraints to the current Kingfisher population. Potential safeguarding and enhancement measures will also be identified.

This project aims to buy, lease or manage large areas of ecologically degraded (farm)land across Ireland (and eventually the wider European landmass) in order to restore biodiversity and bio-abundance by reinstating natural processes.
Project status: In Progress
The plan for Castlemahon is to convert the farm to an organic orchard over 3 to 5 years. Starting with the most improved fields first. The change of land-use to an organic orchard will allow soil health to improve and increase biodiversity; while also allowing a biodiversity audit to take place.
