Join Us for a Guided Nature Walk at Farnham Estate, Cavan 🌿
Techies Go Green is delighted to invite our members to a guided nature walk through the stunning grounds of the 1,300 acre Farnham Estate, Cavan, hosted by Maurice Ryan of Green Belt, with an ecologist accompanying the walk.
Green Belt has recently completed an in-depth habitat and biodiversity study of the resort. During the walk, Maurice and the ecologist will share insights from this study and explain how different habitats connect, support one another, and allow the ecosystem to thrive in a peaceful, protected environment.

Maurice Ryan
Maurice Ryan is Business Development Director at Green Belt, where he focuses on sustainable forestry, biodiversity projects, and helping organisations turn environmental commitments into real, local impact.
Fiona Nulty and Alexis Fitzgerald will be joining us on the day and will bring a depth of insight that most people would miss. They help make sense of how the site works as a living system shaped by nature, history, and science, which is rare to experience in one place.
Fiona is the lead ecologist and recently completed a research masters at Trinity College Dublin on biodiversity in design and planning. She also has over ten years of experience as a registered architect, working on commercial and residential projects, which gives her a strong mix of ecological and practical project experience. Alexis is a botanist and ecologist with deep experience in habitat surveys and plant identification. He works with groups like the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland and the Dublin Naturalists Field Club, and has broad experience across habitat mapping, data analysis, and wildlife surveys with state organisations.
Set within 1,300 acres of woodland and parkland, Farnham Estate is a place of real majesty and wonder. Much of the estate’s forestry and woodland dates back to the mid-1800s, creating a rich mosaic of mature trees, open skies, and diverse habitats thriving under a protected canopy.
The woodland is carefully safeguarded by the current owner, who is firmly committed to ensuring that nothing is cut unnecessarily. This long-term approach to stewardship has allowed biodiversity to flourish across the estate.
Green Belt has recently completed an in-depth habitat and biodiversity study of the resort, focusing on the existing nature value of the land and identifying natural, long-term, and sustainable initiatives to further enhance biodiversity over time. During the walk, Maurice and the ecologist will share insights from this study and explain how different habitats connect, support one another, and allow the ecosystem to thrive in a peaceful, protected environment.
As we move through the estate, we’ll pause to explore specific areas, gaining a deeper understanding of how nature works in harmony across the landscape.
We’d love you to join us on March 27 for this special opportunity to experience, learn from, and appreciate one of Cavan’s most remarkable natural environments.
Let’s go green, together.
