Sheridan, a farmer who has ancestral connections to Clara Bog, will speak about how he became a promoter and protector of Clara Bog at the conference. His grandfather, John Sheridan, was Trustee of Clara Bog, “If you wanted to cut turf you’d go to John Sheridan. He’d tell you that you could cut a perch beside so and so.”Brian is an active member of Clara Bog and Heritage Society and sits on the Community Wetlands Forum steering committee. ‘A bridge over troubled water – Conference for Biodiversity’, hosted by The Greens in Europe, is happening in conjunction with two upcoming key moments: the EU Renaturation Law and the World Biodiversity Conference in Kunming/China.
