Under Summer Pastures
Explorations and Essays from Ireland’s Temperate Rainforests. The first in a series of Hometree publications.

Our most ancient rainforests are still here, living amongst us, but not often revealing themselves, hiding out in valleys and cliffsides. Globally, these woodlands are rare. In Ireland, they are rarer still, but fragments of a once-great Temperate Rainforest persist, clinging on in our western uplands. Under Summer Pastures invites you on an adventure into their wonders, it’s a chance to walk in these unique landscapes with Ray Ó Foghlú as your passionate and informative guide.

Woven through Ray’s woodland visits are contributions from some of Ireland's leading environmental thinkers, offering a blend of practical, magical, and personal responses to the rainforest. Stories and essays from Mark Boyle, Dr Catherine Farrell, Pádraic Fogerty, Trevor Halpin, Clare Heardman, Rory Hodd, Paul Kingsnorth, James Rainey and Grace Wells, and with a foreword by Manchán Magan, make Under Summer Pastures a timely exposé of the challenges our endangered woodlands face and the prevailing philosophies that will determine their future. It’s both a call for action and a breath of moss-filled air, a book that wants you to get out in the wilderness, and maybe do everything in your power to protect it.
