Planting cereals mixed with linseed and other seed bearing plans provides a food source for small birds and mammals. In turn these support breeding Hen Harriers. This film shows how to establish these crops in the Irish uplands.

Hen Harriers can easily be displaced by disturbance. In the Spring disturbance can cause them to abandon territories. Other upland bird like Red grouse, Meadow Pipits and Curlew are also vulnerable.

Getting the best out of hill grazing, managing access routes, water supply, fire risk and invasive species while preventing localised damage by livestock.

A comprehensive set of training films for the management of uplands will be launched nest Tuesday October 20th. see www.henharrierproject.ie

A short film on how to manage cattle on the Irish uplands. How managed grazing can be good for the farmer and for the environment

Time to think again about Rushes, they have a vital role in supporting biodiversity, management can ensure that this role is protected and that an agricultural value is realised.

A short film on how farmers protect the unique landscape in the Irish uplands and how this benefits Hen Harriers and other wildlife.

How to manage livestock to deliver for biodiversity and climate action while reducing costs.

Managing Grasslands through rotational grazing can reduce costs and increase the output of agricultural and environmental outputs. This is potentially a win win for everybody, a more sustainable farm where support for biodiversity, for carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling is delivered along with high quality food.
