Eoghan Connaughton is the founder of The Gaelic Woodland Project, a people-powered wildlife restoration project. They're not only focused on fundraising to buy land to return to wilderness in perpetuity, they truly value community and skill sharing and getting in touch with our land again. It really is a brilliant initiative and you can find ways to support them here or follow them on Instagram @gaelicwoodlandproject.
