Native Woodland, Family Farming & Changing Minds — with Breda & Sean Larkin | S3E5

In episode 5 of season 3, Ray Ó Foghlú meets Breda and Sean Larkin on their family farm near Ballinasloe, Co. Galway. Breda and Sean talk about planting native woodland on part of the farm, the conversations it took to get there, and the different views farmers can have on forestry and agroforestry. Through the Native Woodland Scheme, they planted 5.6 hectares of woodland, with annual payments available over 20 years. Breda shares how the woodland has already brought new life to the land, from skylarks and buzzards to oak trees thriving in good ground. Join the conversation in the comments. We'd love to hear your thoughts on the episode. #farmforest #farmforestireland #irishfarming #startingconversations #irishforest #agroforestry #irishwoodlands #nativeforestry #forestry #nativewoodland #galway #ballinasloe
