Interface Inagh 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 planting a tree. This involves not only planting the tree, but finding and arranging loose branches to form a protective cage which will reduce the risk of bruising by sheep and deer.
Native tree saplings plantings include: rowan, whitethorn, birch, holly, alder, guelder rose, crab apple, scot’s pine, hazel
This planting will take place during the bare-root season (November – March)
