Celebrating Heritage Week with some Peatland Restoration!

A huge thank you to Hugh McLindon, Andrea Webb and the entire team for the amazing work that they do restoring peatlands in the Wicklow Mountains. Climate Ambassadors joined volunteers from ReWild Wicklow and mountaineering clubs to build coir dams, lay hessian cloth and even do a little fencing.

This is always a highlight in our calendar year, to be able to work with NPWS, hike up these SAC areas, get stuck in, work with passionate people and a great sense of achievement once you see the peat dams in place.

NPWS and emergency services have been working hard battling raging wildfires which destroyed 66 hectares of land within the Wicklow Mountains National Park. The blanket bogs in the Wicklow Mountains can be difficult to access for machinery, so often it requires feet on the ground to do this restoration work.

Volunteer days run every Thursday and the 3rd Sunday of every month if you want to give it a try.

Daithí is joined by Áine May Hughes from to discuss sustainability in festivals and events and bust some myths around where the biggest impacts really lie.

Áine walks us through the key impact areas, underscoring transport and food & beverage as being overlooked for their impact, and we gain insight into how Native Events tackles the challenges of each impact area in a way which caters to the specific needs of each event, from its size to its audience to its location.

We uncover the truth on the reusable versus single-use plastic cup debate as well as finding out if biodegradable serve ware is as sustainable as we think. Whether you’re attending this summer’s biggest music festival or organising a small community event, Áine’s advice is sure to leave you with the knowledge and inspiration to make a change!
