We are- a family of four,
Mum- Annie,
Dad-Bruce
Two children Elsie and Betsy
One dog - Doug
and we decided to trade our busy life as home and business owners to chase the dream we’ve harboured for 10years.
How did we get here
After years of saying one day, we finally realised that these opportunities don’t just land in your lap and if we seriously wanted to make a difference to the Earth then we were going to have to stop talking about it and do it!
We sold all our stuff, got rid of the mortgage, sold our camper conversion business and landed in a dream come true. After traveling in our van we settled here in the west of Ireland. A place that has always been special to us. Annie is half Irish and since we met 12 years ago and she took me to meet her family i fell in love with Ireland too.
Now we’ve made this dream a reality there is no stopping us! our plan is to work hard, meet new people and learn new skills that will guide us on our journey of permaculture and creating a way of life that sings to us. One where we aren’t bound to the banks, working every hour and outsourcing all of our needs. A simple way of life, with connection to ourselves, each other, the earth and our community.

The planting of a tree is a modest form of immortality as Voltaire said, fantastic work such as a positive contribution your family is making to County Clare!

Thanks 🙏 Annie pointed out to me that we need positive actions like this right now. I feels strange to know I won’t see those oaks fully grown but also amazing to know others will :)

In Diana Beresford Kroeger's autobiography, 'To Speak for the Trees' she recounts an old druidic prediction that says Ireland's decimated oak forests would be replanted by people in the future, beginning in County Clare! From there, it will spread around the globe, "like wildfire". Nice work, dudes!

Great job, you are so going to enjoy seeing them grow. I planted a lot of trees myself, and it's been one of the most wholesome experiences to see them develop, the first birds hopping from branch to branch feeding their young with caterpillars eating on the leaves, the first squirrels eating the hazelnuts, bats trailing the pathways and clearing at dusk and dawn. Enjoy it. Thank you for for the shout out to reforest nation, will definitely check them out

Excellent! Proud of you all! Some of the names of the trees, I have never heard of...but we have lots of maple, oak, long needle pine, 1 aspen, 1 birch, and even a spiral willow tree in our front yard, We have some cedar trees too, which I'm allergic to, but they grow way out by the pond, thankfully. Our acreage used to be farmland, so the nutrients in the soil are depleted, I'm going to look into something to fertilize them with. We do get plenty of rain, but not like you do! Our soil is usually very hard to dig unless we've had a torrential rain. (SE Kansas, USA). Again, great job! Hug your trees!
@OffGridBruce

My dna is originally from Ireland & Italy but now I’m in the states where deforestation is still rampant . Thank you so much for what your doing !!! The birds and the animals that will come will also help reforestation when the birds eat the seeds and poo them out onto the ground. 👍

@OffGridBruce
@OffGridBruce 2 года назад
Well we have 2 options really. I can carefully go in with the strimmer and mulch occasionally round them or apparently I can do nothing and allow the bramble to come back and act as natural protection from animals that like to eat saplings and as the years go by eventually the trees will win the battle of the light and the bramble will retreat. I think I’ll probably do a bit of both as I like the idea of being able to walk amongst them :)

Great episode! How are they doing now and how did you manage to stop the deer from destroying them?

Most of them are doing well. We don’t have any deer in this part of Clare we just have hare to worry about

Hello there, thanks for your inspirational work. How far apart did you plant the oak saplings? Will you thin them out in a few years? Thank you
@OffGridBruce
@OffGridBruce 11 месяцев назад
They were between 1-2m and we would thin them once established. We actually moved most of them this winter to a more unusable field this winter just gone as we planted them in the wrong place really

I remeber when I was in the US navy in the 1980's and based in Wales went to ireland once but it all looked the same and depressing hardly any trees just fields of grass seemed so un natural then later on I found out that the UK and Ireland used to have massive broadleaf forests just like the east coast of the USA had

Yes there used to be huge deciduous tree coverage in both countries but there was mass deforestation. Very few ancient woodlands left now but hopefully we can bring them back. There are some great people doing amazing work at the moment which gives me hope :)

I don’t think so because we sourced our trees from reforest nation but I should look into it. Good luck with yours

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but does planting them close together not mean they'll compete and not do as well?
@OffGridBruce
@OffGridBruce 2 года назад
The instructions we were given was to plant at 1m spacings in clumps of 25ish and leave gaps around the clumps creating space for natural glades etc. It also allows for failures. In about 10-15 years I will have to thin out and coppice some giving space for the stronger trees. :)

Hello, I plan to a small Woodland from my friends, girlfriend in Donegal my name is Brendan connolly i from dundalk I Plant it 50 white widow and 50 scotch, pine February of this year we went down a week ago to Donegal and most of them survived 25 old trees most of the time survived one or two doesn’t I have 200 young oak trees coming up in my shed?

Hey Brendan. I have a few hundred oaks myself left to plant so I don’t need any more but if you contact Home tree in Clare I’d say they could point you in the right direction. They are doing great things

Can someone tell me why I should plant native trees? I cannot find answer anywhere. Why not plant foreign trees that are suited to climate and can grow 3 times faster to sequester more carbon?
@OffGridBruce
@OffGridBruce Год назад
We planted native just because irelands native tree cover is so low and they best suit the biodiversity of this country. We will plant non native trees to but apparently you need to be careful as some are invasive. Also the planting of non native have caused all sorts of issues such as the ash die back etc. I’m not really an expert on this kind of thing. I just listened to local knowledge

Your trees are too close to each other. It is a common mistake, because you have to take in account the size of the tree when mature. So, think about that and you will understand what I am saying
@OffGridBruce
@OffGridBruce Год назад
Hi David thanks for the tips. We planted these as instructed by Reforest nation with the view that some won’t survive and weaker ones will be removed hence the close planting
