Native Woodland Conference 2018
The Native Woodland Conference was the culmination of twenty years of outreach, policy, research, passion and of course, planting. A capacity crowd filled the venue to listen to a truly trans-disciplinary vision of Ireland’s native Woodlands.
Dr Bourke attended and delivered a presentation on the potential to reduce local flood peaks by introducing Natural Water Retention Measures into Ireland’s Native Woodlands.
The take-home message is: the potential in Ireland for runoff retention and infiltration during high rainfall events in forests is currently unexplored, but holds much promise.
The conference was a great success on many levels as can be seen in the conference report PDF available here.
