Interface is a studio and residency programme for visual artists, dancers, writers and musicians, situated in the Inagh Valley, in the heart of Connemara. The not-for-profit organisation provides catalysing opportunities for artists to explore intersections between scientific research and art.
The studio building is surrounded by 37 acres of Sitka-Spruce forest. Interface, together with the landowner Derryclare Aqua, have undertaken to restore this barren, monocultural forest to native woodland, with a preference for continuous cover. This work is taking place slowly, by hand. Some areas are being allowed to self-restore, assisted with protection against grazing by deer. In other areas, native saplings and hedgerows are being planted..
Contribute to the native woodland restoration project by sponsoring the planting of native Irish saplings. Interface commits not only to planting the tree, but sourcing loose branches and organic material to form a protective cage which will reduce the risk of bruising by sheep and deer, avoiding the use of plastic tubing.
This planting will take place during the bare-root season (November – March)
