Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

In Your Nature Ep 67 - John Feehan (Peatland Perspectives)
Q: What are the opportunities now for bogs, and is there something we're missing?
Opportunity lies in engaging communities, enabling access and education, while allowing natural succession to guide long-term restoration; the focus should be on balance between biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and sustainable energy projects rather than forcing a single outcome.
In Your Nature Ep 67 - John Feehan (Peatland Perspectives)
Q: Is restoration possible?
Restoration is possible in a biodiverse wildland sense, but not back to the raised bog as it was; the goal is a comparable, biodiverse ecosystem that can support biodiversity, acknowledging the limits of returning to the exact historical state.
In Your Nature Ep 67 - John Feehan (Peatland Perspectives)
Q: First question then is, when did bogs first come on your agenda, either as a child or whatever? When did you first understand what a bog was?
Feehan describes growing up near Tlannochil bog, with early experiences of the bog shaping his lifelong interest; over time he pursued a comprehensive view of bogs that includes natural, cultural, and industrial dimensions, and he began lecturing at UCD which catalyzed a more serious, integrated study.
In Your Nature Ep 60 - Dark Skies
Q: What are the Dark Skies principles?
Dark Skies principles emphasize questioning the necessity of lighting, using warm color temperatures, and minimizing light usage to only what is necessary.
In Your Nature Ep 57 - Farming For Nature (Handbook)
Q: Would it be safe to say in your opinion that the environment and nature in this country is beat without the help of farmers?
In a word, probably yes, because so much of our landmass is covered by productive agriculture in this country.
