The CANN Project

And our final official tweet of the project is a link to our summary and celebration report, showcasing the wonderful work of all our partners across the three jurisdictions thecannproject.org/publications/c… CANN has been a brilliant project and there is a tear as I say bye-bye to Twitter

I got muddled on tweeting a thread (duh) so the previous three tweets had no context. These are the series of shorts on YouTube made as part of our wildfire land-management training. The final one is on prescribed burning and can be found here youtu.be/GBN3k0ACldM

@JamesBCarr1 Is your bog an SAC? that might help in attracting projects, any nesting waders likewise. But in the first instance I would contact your county council heritage officer and see what they suggest about upcoming funding streams or existing farm payments that could be used. Good luck

@theCANNproject Is there a way that my 17 acres of bog in County Cork could be the subject of an educational restoration or at least biodiversity improvement project? At the moment it is a blank canvas and I want to make the right moves.

Just got some lovely photos back from our final event on Cuilcaigh, our Stitching the Mountain project inspired by the dams stitching the drains together, with C2C Cuilcaigh to Cleenish, produced some fantastic artwork and inspired the children of Glangevlin and Swanlinbar

@TCorncrake Hi just saw another tweet from you mentioning that monies had been passed from the CANN project to Birdlife Ireland. This is not the case BWI are not CANN partners and we have not worked with this organisation .

This is fantastic to see, Can't wait to visit the site again

Feeling so inspired by the activities on Cuilcagh yesterday, will share artist, Morag Donald's work with weaving soon, but for now, here is some instant poetry: "Hazel; crunchy and enchanting; energised, happy and full; amazing and awesome; king of trees" using this template
