We Are Friends
Of The Earth
An Tairseach is a community-based
project. We are: farmers, volunteer
gardeners, ecologists, people who
care about the environment or
students who want to consider
their dream for the Earth.

environmental nonprofit
Our dedicated 10-acre Conservation Area provides special spaces for retreat and study. We have two flagship plantations: the Millenium Wood and, more recently, Dunbur Wood. These are in addition to a network of pathways, native hedgerows, and a thriving pond which channels an ancient stream.

Organic Story Inspiration of Skylarks
It’s fair to say that the skylark is part of our farm’s heritage, its welcome appearance in the early days providing inspiration and impetus at a key time in the establishment of An Tairseach.

Community Garden Project
Community Garden Project
Looking for local
volunteers!
We have donated a plot of land on our farm for the local community to use as a growing garden. Our vision was to provide a shared community space for people to come together and learn about sustainable food production, meet with like-minded people, enjoy nature and relax and get their hands dirty helping in the garden and growing food.
A handful of locals embraced the garden and successfully got it up and running in 2010. It ran for a couple of years very successfully. However, currently the garden is not in use. We are now looking for some motivated locals to pioneer, manage and co-ordinate a group of volunteers to run this community garden. If you feel you are the person to take this on, please contact us!
