Intent

Terra Éire exists to protect and restore land — for habitat, for pollinators, and for future generations.

This is long-view work: strengthening edges and shelter, respecting water, protecting soil, and creating space for ecosystems to recover with low intervention.

Principle: act slowly, measure honestly, and leave the land better than we found it.

A close detail of renewal in the landscape

Small changes, compounding over time.

What the work includes

Practical, place-led actions that improve resilience — built from the ground up.

Soil and organic matter

Soil health

Building living soil through organic matter, diverse swards, and minimal disturbance.

  • Increase soil life and structure
  • Reduce erosion and compaction
  • Support long-term fertility
Grassland and deep roots

Carbon sequestration

Locking carbon in soils and biomass by protecting habitats and growing deep-rooted systems.

  • Healthy soils store more carbon
  • Perennial plants build resilience
  • Measured over seasons and years
Native tree planting in Ireland

Tree planting

Native woodland and shelterbelts designed for biodiversity, not quick planting targets.

  • Right tree, right place
  • Shelter, structure, and habitat
  • Long-term maintenance
Bees on comb or frame

Bees

Supporting honeybee health alongside wild pollinators through habitat-first stewardship.

  • Forage planning across seasons
  • Hive care as part of the system
  • Learning shared openly
Pollinator plants and wildflowers

Pollinator plants

Increasing nectar and pollen availability with native, local, and carefully chosen mixes.

  • Wildflower corridors and edges
  • Hedgerow diversity
  • Continuous bloom planning
Wetlands and clean water

Water & wetlands

Protecting wet ground, slowing flow, and improving habitat value for birds, insects, and plants.

  • Respect natural drainage patterns
  • Restore wet habitat where possible
  • Improve water quality over time
