Ep 109 – Liffey Magic

Whilst many of us travel over the Liffey regularly, how often have you considered the life the river itself holds? Today we investigate the magic of the Liffey on a Currach.

Ep 105 – Dublin Buzz

Every year, on the 20th of May we take the time to celebrate one of the most important pollinators the world has. The humble bee.

Ep 104 - Squirrelled

This week’s Ecolution looks into a really positive nature story; how one keystone species can have a wider impact on the broader Irish ecosystem. Dr Colin Lawton from University of Galway talks about how the resurgence of the pine martin over the past 50 years has led to a flourishing of red squirrels, once badly affected by the invasive greys.
