An evening of Conversation, community and creativity.

CELT & THE WOODLAND LEAGUE were delighted to host a wonderful evening with Writer-In-Residence Kerri ní Dochartaigh in conversation with farmer, writer and rewilding advocate Eoghan Daltun for World Rewilding Day on March 21st 2026, as part of our Writer in Residence Programme kindly supported and funded by the Irish Environmental Network.

Eoghan Daltun is a sculpture conservator, a High Nature Value farmer and, above all,

a rewilder. Originally from Dublin, since 2009 he has lived with his two sons, Liam

and Seánie, on their 73-acre farm near Eyeries on the Beara Peninsula, West Cork. He

is author of the best-selling and award-winning book ‘An Irish Atlantic Rainforest: A

Personal Journey into the Magic of Rewilding’, published September 2022, as well as 'The Magic Of an Irish Rainforest', published in 2024.

Kerri ní Dochartaigh is a mother, writer, holder and grower. She is moved by the way we tend and attend: to ourselves; to one another; to the living world. She has written for The Guardian, BBC, RTE, The Irish Times and others. She mentors and teaches worldwide.

Her work currently explores ideas of one-anotherness, interconnectedness and ecologies of care. Her first book, Thin Places, was published by Canongate in Spring 2021, for which she was awarded the Butler Literary Award 2022, and highly commended for the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing 2021. Cacophony of Bone was published by Canongate in May 2023 and was longlisted for the Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing 2023. She lives in the west of Ireland with her family.
