Rural Life
A new €20,00 sustainability partnership has been announced between the Hare's Corner, a community-led initiative run by the Burrenbeo Trust to support landowners and communities in Galway implementing practical climate adaptation and biodiversity measures, and Intact Insurance Ireland.
Environment
Landowners in six counties can apply for support to create wildlife ponds, mini woodlands, hedges, mini orchards and 'plans for nature'.
Farmers are to be encouraged to develop more biodiversity through wildlife ponds, hedgerows, woodlands and species-rich grasslands
