Ep. 77 – Irish Rainforests, Invasive Species & Reintroducing Predators – Eoghan Daltun

Just when I think I know all the essential information around Ireland’s woodlands, I learn that we have rainforests! Eoghan Daltun is on a mission to re-wild a neglected farm and lucky for us, he wrote about about the journey so far, so that we can have in on his learnings.
