Ep 108 – Carbon, and on and on….
0:20:31 | June 10th, 2026
In this episode of Ecolution we discuss why now is the perfect time for us to truly act on decarbonisation. We speak with Garry Walsh of Oxfam on the impacts felt on the ground and visit the EcoUnesco YEA’s to hear solutions being put forward by the students of Ireland. Plus, Dublin Bus on going electric.
Ep 107 – Outdoor Adventures and Connecting with Nature
0:11:58 | June 3rd, 2026
From kayaking on the Lakes of Killarney to discovering hidden adventures, this episode explores why spending time outdoors matters. Featuring photographer Tadhg O’Brien and Irish Adventures founder Noel O’Leary, we look at how nature can boost our wellbeing and inspire us to protect the places we love.
Ep 106 – Home is where the trees are
0:17:44 | May 26th, 2026
Did you know that Ireland has the lowest level of tree cover in the whole of Europe? Less than 10% of our landmass is covered in trees with less than one percent made up of native woodlands. This week on Ecolution we meet Hometree, a nature restoration charity working to restore resilient habitats.

Ep 105 – Dublin Buzz
0:19:11 | May 19th, 2026
Every year, on the 20th of May we take the time to celebrate one of the most important pollinators the world has. The humble bee. And this year we headed to a spot you wouldn’t immediately associate with bees; a Dublin Bus Garage in Phibsborough. There we met Irwin and Paul, two employees turned volunteer beekeepers.
Ep 104 – Squirrelled
0:27:12 | May 13th, 2026
This week’s Ecolution looks into a really positive nature story; how one keystone species can have a wider impact on the broader ecosystem. Dr Colin Lawton from University of Galway talks about how the resurgence of the pine martin over the past 50 years has led to a flourishing of red squirrels, once badly affected by the invasive greys.
Ep 103 – The Dawn Chorus Concert
0:17:13 | May 6th, 2026
We woke before sunrise in Killarney National Park to experience the dawn chorus — nature’s incredible morning concert. Joined by ecologist Irene Sullivan, we discover why birds sing at dawn, how birds help biodiversity, and what birdsong can tell us about the health of our environment
Ep 102 – Beavering away
0:30:22 | April 29th, 2026
This week we speak to the brilliant Emily Fairfax PHD, an Ecohydrologist at the University of Minnesota, about her work documenting the lives of one of the most important ecosystem engineers in the world; the beaver. And how she came to help in the making of Pixar’s new film “Hoppers”.

This is so good! We love to get out into the forest and enjoy some quiet time, but alas I think we might just be bringing the noise with us ha
