Shivam talks with Eoghan Connaughton and Aron Hegarty.
Eoghan is the Founder of the Gaelic Woodland Project, and Aron is Storyteller with the Candlelit Tales Podcast, and both are on the board of directors for the Gaelic Woodland Project. Combining ecological, and scientific knowledge to the lore or Ireland and the power of Storytelling is one of the ways these two marry their interests and cultivate their desire to refforrest Ireland's landscape.
Their mission is simple. To conserve Ireland’s natural and cultural heritage, inspire people to take action together, and to create an ecologically rich and diverse patchwork of native habitats across Ireland.
In 2024, they acquired 12 acres of land in County Mayo, to be rewilded with native Irish trees, following best practices to support biodiversity and ecosystem restoration.
