We are currently looking at planting 9 acres of family land with broadleaf and larch. Due to the changes in the forestry programme for 2105 we are looking at secondary grazed planting within the trees to benefit fauna, bees and wildlife.

We are looking for grass, clover, and flowering species that would thrive in shade of trees on an exposed site 120M above sea level, suitable for bees and birds.

Please forward any suggestions.

We currently manage two extraordinary properties near Glasson Co. Westmeath. 1.5hrs M50.

One is a 120 year old island house in an SAC area which is kept very basic and has basic facilities.

No mains water or electricity. This is very much living as was 50 years ago. Two double beds, and couch. No ghosts. Ideal for getting away. Great Fishing. Booking solely by email.

The other is a 200 year old private cottage adjacent to Lough Ree that has been fully refurbished and has all mod cons. OFCH, well water, open fire, kitchen, walks, birds, peace.
