Ross Buchanan's woodland contains what is probably the most northerly oak stand being managed for quality timber in Ireland
The Irish Forest and Woodlands Awards and the RDS Circular Economy Awards have Inishowen entrants nominations in each.
The RDS, Ballsbridge in Dublin will host ‘Finding Common Ground’, a festival on biodiversity and sustainability early next month.
Ross Buchanan’s woodland in Carndonagh is shortlisted in the Production Forestry Category which aims to recognise excellence in the management of production forestry and Living Green organic compost in Quigley’s Point has been shortlisted in the SME category in the RDS Circular Economy Awards.
Ross Buchanan's woodland contains what is probably the most northerly oak stand being managed for quality timber on the island. The woodland is a diverse mixture of productive stands in an incredibly beautiful setting; which is being managed using a complex range of management styles and objectives.
Living Green started out in 2003 as a commercial worm farm and over the last 21 years has evolved into so much more. Along with breeding worms Living Green now manufacture three types of certified organic compost; along with certified organic frozen wheatgrass, turmeric and beetroot shots.
The awards ceremony takes place as part of the ‘Finding Common Ground’ Festival on Friday, May 3.
The inaugural two-day event is being delivered as one of the RDS Foundation's social impact programmes. It will incorporate presentations and panel discussions exploring how Ireland can harness the benefits of our natural resources and the circular economy with a view to creating increased awareness, education and identification of solutions to act on. Alongside this, a number of awards ceremonies will take place to celebrate best practice in these areas.
