Land stewardship in Ireland

Restoring land in Ireland — quietly, carefully, and for the long term.

A practical land stewardship project focused on biodiversity, pollinators, soil, and water — built through real work on the ground, and supported through long-term partnerships.

What Terra Éire is

Terra Éire is a long-term land stewardship project — focused on restoring real places in Ireland through careful, ongoing work rather than one-off planting or offset schemes.

Irish land and tree line Hedging craft and stewardship Water and wetland habitat

The aim is simple: secure land, improve it over time, and document what actually changes — hedgerows thickening, soil recovering, water slowing, pollinators returning.

This is not a tree-counting project or a short-term campaign. It is a patient, practical approach to land care — measured over years, not seasons.

Partnerships support that work directly: not as a symbolic gesture, but as a real contribution to land that is being actively stewarded and observed.

Current structure, future direction. Terraeire Land Stewardship Limited t/a Terra Éire. The work is beginning through the LTD, with the longer-term aim of developing a separate CLG arm with charitable status for the public-good side of the mission.

Focus areas

Six clear workstreams with sponsor-friendly reporting.

Soil health

Soil health

Living soils, organic matter, reduced disturbance, and careful observation.

Water and wetlands

Water & wetlands

Respect wet ground, slow flow, improve habitat value and water quality.

Pollinator plants

Pollinator plants

Continuous bloom planning through native edges, mixes, and corridors.

Ways to support

A clear path for businesses, organisations, and individuals who want to help.

Partnership tiers (per annum)

Simple, poetic tiers designed for ongoing land care and reporting. Choose a level that matches your organisation’s scale.

Seed

Best for small teams and early-stage companies.

  • Up to ~10 tCO₂e / year (typical)
  • Pollinator habitat + stewardship planning
  • Quarterly photo + progress update
  • Governance

Grove

Best for growing SMEs with some vehicles and travel.

  • ~10–50 tCO₂e / year (typical)
  • Tree planting + hedgerow regeneration
  • Quarterly updates + impact notes

Horizon

Best for larger footprints and deeper, multi-hectare work.

  • 50+ tCO₂e / year (typical)
  • Wetlands + long-term monitoring
  • Annual impact summary

All partnerships are per annum. Support is renewed yearly to reflect ongoing land care, monitoring, and stewardship.
