The Hare's Corner : Making Space for Nature

In partnership with the Burrenbeo Trust, this beautifully crafted book brings together ten inspiring profiles of participants in Burrenbeo projects, written by Pocket Forests co-founder Catherine Cleary.

These real-life stories - from farmers and families to schools and community groups - shine a light on the small yet profound changes that are restoring habitats and reviving species across both rural and urban landscapes.

Woven through the book are evocative poems by acclaimed poet Jane Clarke, enchanting illustrations by Jane Carkill and striking photography. Each page invites readers to reconnect with the wild corners of the world - and perhaps to create their own.

Named after the traditional farming practice of leaving a field's edge for wildlife, The Hare's Corner is a testament to resilience, renewal and the deep wellbeing that can blossom when we let nature in.

This appears to be a thoughtfully assembled collection that combines storytelling, poetry, and visual elements to explore conservation efforts in Ireland. The book focuses on practical, grassroots environmental work through personal narratives, making it accessible to readers interested in both nature writing and community-based conservation. The multi-disciplinary approach with poems and illustrations suggests it aims to inspire as much as inform about small-scale habitat restoration projects.
