Rewilding in Ireland: Theory, scale, practice

In a joint collaboration, the Trinity College Dublin Centre for Environmental Humanities and the Irish Wildlife Trust hosted an evening of lectures, debate, and discussion on 16 September 2025 with renowned authors Eoghan Daltun (An Irish Atlantic Rainforest, 2022), Mary Reynolds (We Are the Ark, 2022), and Pádraic Fogarty (Whittled Away, 2017). They explored the concept and practice of rewilding, from landscape-wide to the local scale. It was the first in a series of three seminars held at Trinity College this autumn engaging with the topic of rewilding across Europe. Watch it back here.
