Last week, we took a trip down to Clare for site visits & to give one of our CoolPartners a tour of Cloudforest One. It was a short, but productive trip. We shot plenty of great content as well, and put some things in place to prepare for our next visit down.

Although Larches aren’t native to Ireland (or Britain), it is relatively commonly planted in Ireland. The European Larch is native to mountains of central Europe, upland areas in France, Germany and Austria. Larches have woody trunks & stems, needle leaves and a waxy coating that keeps the leaves from losing water which is all characteristic of conifers. But, unlike other evergreen Conifers, they are deciduous, meaning they drop their leaves for part of the year. It is known to be the only deciduous conifer in Europe & the majority of deciduous conifers in other continents are related to them in one way or another.

Congratulations to Mike from Seakel Fire & Security (CoolPartner 002) who is a part of a team of 20 cyclists (8 back-up) on a 700km charity cycle from Nantes to Lourdes raising funds for Cliona’s Foundation and the Limerick Lourdes Invalid Fund.

Carrigaholt is a beautiful place to visit at the best of times. But, now as we announce our Red Wood site for Shelbourne FC being located only a few minutes outside the village, we think it’s the ideal summer destination for not just Shelbourne fans but for anyone in the CoolTribe! 

It’s been just over a month since our beautiful Native Irish Honey Bees (apis mellifera mellifera) first arrived at our new Voluntary Conservation Area at our Cloudforest One site in Lahinch, Co. Clare. We are the first private enterprise to undertake the role of a Voluntary Conservation Area & we are very excited to go down to visit them next week and see how they are developing. 

However, the past month has not only been a big month in our Native Honey Bee conservation efforts. It’s been a big month for all of us concerned with the apis mellifera mellifera & its future.
