Biodiversity Walk, Irvinestown

April 23 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm

The Farrelly farm is a sheep enterprise nestled in the Fermanagh Lakeland’s, working in harmony with livestock and nature. On the Farm, you will see examples of Fred’s farmer-led innovative method of tree protection. Having previously struggled with using conventional protection, he has successfully developed a simple, more effective solution, using electric fencing, which has gained significant interest from a variety of farmers and tree planting organisations.

Discover the natural heritage flourishing across Fred’s farm, a testament to generations of sustainable land management in the heart of County Fermanagh. This resilience is maintained by traditional, low-intensity grazing. The sheep’s movement and selective grazing prevent dominant grasses from choking out slower-growing species. This stewardship allows unique flora to persist, contributing to a healthier, wilder Fermanagh countryside.

While this is a free event, please register before as attendance is limited.
