A Renaissance in Irish Nature Writing

In this episode of the Code Red climate podcast, we speak to three Irish nature writers about the recent boom in environmental literature.

What motivated them to write about the environment? Have our perceptions of what constitutes a wild landscape changed? What is the state of wild nature in Ireland?

Host: Dr. Dave Robbins

Guests:

- Mary Reynolds, reformed landscape designer, author of We Are The Ark: Returning Our Gardens to their True Nature with Acts of Restorative Kindness, and founder of the global rewilding movement We are the Ark

- Pádraic Fogarty, campaigns officer with the Irish Wildlife Trust, editor of Irish Wildlife magazine and author of Whittled Away: Ireland's Vanishing Nature

- Eoghan Daltún, sculptor, rewilder, and author of the best-selling An Irish Atlantic Rainforest: A Personal Journey into the Magic of Rewilding

In our intro sequence to this episode you heard seagulls from Dublin, blackbirds singing in Kilkenny. the ocean waves from the West of Ireland and the sound of a river that has no name in south Co Wexford.
