In this episode we speak with Eoghan Connaughton from the Gaelic Woodland Project.

Eoghan is a Masters student of Environmental Science researching fungi as a bioherbicide. He is also a post graduate of environmental protection and founder of the Gaelic Woodland Project: a charity run by volunteers who share a desire to heal the wounds of history through empowerment, stewardship and gardening.

Topics that come up are:

• Tending the indigenous biodiversity of the land you live on
• The choice to stay in the city and create the nature you are yearning for.
• Breaking through the myth of the “strong independent person” and calling in support from the people around you

• And more…
