Restoring the great woods of Aughty ‘reminds us of the profound importance of our ancient forests’ via IrishTimesLife
This weekend the League will explore a future where forests can be managed according to a deeper wisdom. On Saturday in Tulla, Co Clare they are hosting Ron Waukau and McKaylee Duquain of the Menominee Nation, who manage 235,000 acres in Wisconsin containing “the most biodiversity and the most tree species-rich forest in North America”.
President Michael D Higgins has sent a message of support. “The restoration of the Great Forest of Aughty reminds us of the profound importance of our ancient forests and native woodlands, not only in sustaining life and enhancing biodiversity on our shared planet, but also in renewing and enriching our cultural heritage,” he wrote.
“The event aims to bring attention to our active Great Forest of Aughty rainforest restoration plan to expand the pockets of oak wood and join them via a matrix of riparian and hedgerow corridors,” League spokesman Andrew St Leger explained. “And to seek action and support to make it happen on a wider scale to benefit communities, farmers, water, soil and biodiversity. This plan will involve a combination of natural regeneration with targeted planting to create new native forest areas.
