Not-for-profit branch of Coillte “dedicated to restoration, regeneration of nature across Ireland” shut down.
“This will enable Coillte to significantly increase its delivery of #climate & nature restoration projects”.

Coillte call the felling of semi-mature oaks in Tipperary “biodiversity-focused forest management works”.
People might be aghast at this, but it totally fits with how Coillte operates.

Coillte has shut down its non-profit nature focused org Coillte Nature. This is a worrying move. The Coillte Nature team were doing great work. Can the commercially driven Coillte really restore our precious native woodlands for the good of society?

Coillte may think they can go back to business as usual with the Greens out of their way but we've signed Ireland up to the EU's Nature Restoration Law and Coillte, as the largest landowner in Ireland, will have to play a huge part in that.

The lack of transparency around the dissolution of Coillte Nature again highlights the need for reform in the outdated commercial mandates that govern Coillte, a body that ultimately manages 7% of Ireland.

Navajo (or Diné bizaad, if you favour endonyms) is one of the most inventive of all languages (in my opinion) in that it has often created neologisms for new things, rather than borrowing terms from other languages. Here are ten of my favourite Navajo / Diné words (and their meanings) for animals…
