Welcome to Tóchar,
an exciting wetlands restoration project
that is situated in
Ireland’s midlands
and surrounding
counties.
Tóchar, implementing action 2.1 of the EU Just Transition Programme in Ireland, aims to restore degraded wetlands, in the context of a just transition and move towards carbon neutrality. Nature restoration is part of a social transition, where the restoration of landscape goes hand in hand with community restoration and our relationships with nature.
Nature restoration is a part of a social transition
Tóchar was chosen as the project name, to represent the path along the Just Transition journey, and as a reminder that generations gone before us have used and experienced bogs and wetlands in a myriad of ways. A tóchar or togher is a path through the bog or wetland, hundreds of which have been found deep in the peat across the midlands. Some were made from heavy oak, which had been transported great distances, others were made from other tree species and occasionally flagstones.
