A sad week in some respects but exciting in others as a 20 year old commercial cider orchard that we had been letting out has run its course, the apples are no longer wanted meaning it is out of contract, so we’ve taken it back in hand. Instead of pulling all the trees out we’ve left 25% of them standing, in 24 metre alleys. We will grow crops between the trees as part of an agroforestry system. There’s some ground prep to be done over the coming months before we plant wheat between the alleys in the autumn. (Prepared for some flack about this from people who might not understand the full picture - happy to answer questions!)

Local farmers enhance biodiversity & water quality in Inagh river through the #EIPAgri #operationalgroup. Join to see how they manage or contact the group. Excellent example of #Farmingfornature on a local scale #AKIS. Many more of those are onthe way in many MS in the #FutureCAP
Inagh EIP will host a free @HeritageWeek walk on Sun, 14 Aug @12:00hrs.
The walk to sites on the upper Inagh River & Derrynacarragh Lough will outline work of local farmers to improve water quality & enhance biodiversity.
All welcome.

Thrilled to view the exceptional work by farmers on the Upper Inagh yesterday.
Amongst multiple @InaghEIP measures, farmers have used 5 native tree species to create riparian buffer zones to improve water quality & enhance biodiversity.
Great to see such pride in their work.
