In Nature Farmers, Mary Brophy meets a number of farmers across Donegal who are farming with Nature. As the country experiences terrible declines of our wildlife, from birds to insects to wildflowers, we’ll hear how these farmers are creating or restoring habitats on their land. In some of Donegal’s most beautiful landscapes, discover how the county is an important refuge for precious species.
In our first episode, Mary meets farmer Boyd Bryce of Strahack Farm on Inch island, where the pair spend time in an oak woodland Boyd planted thirty years ago and talk about the wildlife that’s found a home here. And on his farm outside Redcastle, James Breslin shows Mary one of the most valuable but rapidly declining habitats on Irish farmland.
