Burrenbeo Trust is partnering with Biodiversity officers in counties Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Meath, Offaly, Carlow and Galway City Council through the Heritage Council's Biodiversity Officer Programme, to be able to offer Hare’s Corners to landowners in these counties.
This video was made with the support of Lifes2Good Foundation. The Hare's Corner is an initiative by the nonprofit organisation Burrenbeo Trust.
Thriving natural spaces are our best natural defense against climate change. The Hare's Corner project, now in its 5th year, is growing every year. Thanks to all the participant landowners, schools, community groups, funders, partners and advisors who have been part of this journey so far.
Let's make more space for nature, one Hare's Corner at a time! So thrilled to share with you our new animation video on what the term 'Hare's Corner' means and the work it is inspiring all around Ireland.
The Hare’s Corner is a powerful celebration of the quiet, hopeful revolution taking place across Ireland – where people are making space for nature to thrive once again.
