"Wilderland is a partnership project between the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), North Mayo Heritage Centre, Mayo County Council’s Arts Service and Environment, Climate Change and Agriculture Department, TASC Think-tank for Action on Social Change, and artist Elaine Harrington.

[...]

The project will create a public space for discussion about the biodiversity and climate crises and explore our relationship to our environment through creative workshops and climate awareness events that promote sustainable use of materials and stewardship of the landscape, using collaborative, co-creative activities to initiate conversation about how we use and protect our natural environment, its resources and its plant & animal life.

[...]

Wilderland is collaborating with graphic designer and lecturer Colm O’ Neill [ @colm ], to extend its sustainable thinking by considering the digital and communication requirements of the project. This means acknowledging that computation and the internet can have a direct, negative, impact on the climate."
