Inishturk can become a sanctuary for the native Irish honeybee, offering refuge from pressures like the varroa mite. The island’s isolation and expanding pollinator habitats—including hedgerows and food forests—create ideal conditions for bees to thrive. By supporting this vital species, we aim to become Ireland’s first native bee sanctuary.

Our approach is grounded in respect for what exists and optimism for what can grow. By protecting habitats and collaborating across Clew Bay, we are building practical resilience. We envision a living landscape where islands, sea, and people flourish side by side.
