About this audio guide
This guide to Terryland Forest Park in Galway starts at a tree stump carrying a poem by President Michael D. Higgins, and asks a blunt question about who paid for this forest. It follows a minister's funding in the nineteen-nineties, a single day of mass planting in March two thousand, and a road plan for the nearby Kirwan roundabout in twenty seventeen. Best heard on the woodland paths, among the young trees.
