Fourteen bleak January days have passed since Storm Éowyn tore through Ireland, bringing record-breaking winds of up to 183 km/h.

The new government communications system will help emergency services work together.

A rare example of a ritual Bronze Age monument has been discovered on Oileán Acla in Co Mayo.

In the wake of recent #StormEowyn, which brought unprecedented wind speeds and widespread disruption across Ireland, we held this webinar on #forests recovery and #restoration to find answers to these questions: 💭 How can we better deal with future disturbances across European forests? 🌎 How do we transform / adapt our forests to make them more climate resilient? 🌱 What can we learn from past experiences to recover and restore forests in an integrative way? 🔍 What are current preliminary findings on storm damage across different forest types and regions? 💶 How can policy and funding from government and EU support recovery? This webinar is part of SUPERB's Forest Restoration Talks and is hosted in collaboration with the Integrate Network, TRANSFORMIT Project, and FoRISK - Pan-European Forest Risk Facility. Speakers: – Noel Kelly, Irish forest owner majorly affected by storm Éowyn – Christophe Orazio from IEFC (Aquitaine, France) brings in knowledge and expertise on forest risk management and climate change adaptation – Jo O’Hara is a professional Chartered Forester, director of FutureArk Ltd and a non-executive board member of Forestry and Land Scotland. She brings in policy and strategy expertise in relation to change management – Fergus Moore, Head of the Forest Sector Development Division at the Department of Agriculture, Food and Marine, Ireland – Carolin Stiehl from Wald & Holz NRW brings in expertise in forest management and restoration implications after major forest disturbance.
