Donegal farmer Boyd Bryce will host a nature-friendly farm walk on the Inishowen peninsula this month.
A Farming for Nature ambassador since 2019, Bryce’s active sheep and tillage farm intertwines wildlife conservation with everyday farming practices.
Over the last few decades, some of the practices he has undertaken include rearing and releasing grey partridges, establishing wildlife habitats, and leading community initiatives aimed at fostering biodiversity.
On display during the walk will be lush pastures, diverse woodlands, and sensitively managed-shorelines and ponds.
Speaking about nature on farms, Bryce said: "Leave your hedges. A hedge without berries or blossom isn’t a hedge, but a bundle of sticks.”
Along with local organisations Bryce has also been improve in nature conservation initiatives on Inch Island.
