Our recent walk through the woodlands in the An Tairseach Ecology Centre was fascinating. An Tairseach translates as The Threshold. It certainly seemed like we were walking into a very special place, a haven for biodiversity. Along the tracks there were hedgerows and shoulder high vegetation which, if elsewhere, might not have survived. On this mixed organic farm we also saw a wide range of vegetables being grown, the small suckler herd and a number of pigs. The produce is sold in Dublin and Bray markets as well as in the farm shop. Another aspect of An Tairseach’s work was apparent during the recent Laudato Si’ week in May. The centre hosted an online event on Faith Consistent Investing making the case for a more ecological economics.
