Today Mary is talking to Randal Plunkett, 21st Baron of Dunsany Castle, in County Meath.
The Plunkett family motto is:
Make Haste Slowly
and through Randal’s dedication to rewild the estate he is at the forefront of the battle to fight the biodiversity crisis. The ancient slow growing trees are the backbone to the project that leaves 750 acres to nature. A charismatic figure, Randal is a film director and movie maker and as he said himself ‘a bit of a goth’ His latest movie:
The Green Sea
is available to rent on Sky and You Tube now. It is appropriate to his character that his favourite tree is the Yew, typically found in graveyards. His love for heavy metal music and an inate anger at injustice creates a force to be reckoned with. He is holding up the flag amongst an army of eco warriors to fight against the destruction of nature and our planet.
