LIFE on Machair is a six year EU funded project running from 2022 to 2028. The project was developed to work with farmers, landowners and local communities in a bid to protect and restore Ireland’s network of Machair systems and associated breeding wader and pollinator communities. Dr. Farrell tells us what a machair is, why they are special, and how LIFE on Machair is working to preserve these unique sites, including how you can help preserve these important sites.
