He spent seven years studying sculpture in Carrara, Tuscany.\u003cbr\u003eIn 2009, he sold the cottage in Kilmainham he had rebuilt mostly single-handed from a ruin - dating back to at least the 1750s - using the original stone. The proceeds went to buy a long-abandoned 73-acre farm overlooking the Atlantic near Eyeries on the Beara Peninsula, West Cork. Much of the land was covered in wild native forest which, although very beautiful, was ecologically wrecked by severe overgrazing and invasion by a host of alien plant species.\u003cbr\u003eOver the years since, Eoghan has brought life in all its explosive vibrancy back to the land, with new temperate rainforest spontaneously forming where previously there was only barren grass. Restoring such an incredibly rich ecosystem has taken him on a fantastic voyage of discovery, which he charted in his award-winning memoir \u003ci\u003eAn Irish Atlantic Rainforest: A Personal Journey into the Magic of Rewilding\u003c\/i\u003e. Rewilding most of the land, and High Nature Value farming the rest, has given him plenty of time to reflect deeply on the ecological crisis unfolding at terrifying speed all around us, and its solutions.\u003cbr\u003eEoghan lives on the farm with his two sons, Liam and Seánie, their collie dog, Charlie, and five Dexter cows: Maggie, Gertrude, Amber, Nelly and Minnie. The \u003ci\u003eMagic of an Irish Rainforest: A Visual Journey \u003c\/i\u003eis his second book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hachette Ireland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48458788864237,"sku":"9781399705295","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/files\/img_5e41d8b4-d9cd-40e4-bf62-6f2ddd323952.jpg?v=1753619362","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/an-irish-atlantic-rainforest-a-personal-journey-into-the-magic-of-rewilding-9781399705295","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
