Offaly photographer's work features in new wetlands publicationThe work of one of Offaly’s best-known nature photographers features in a new guide for wetlands communities involved in creative projects. The publication is part of an effort to engage and enthuse local people to get involved in the protection and preservation of the country’s rich wetlands. Tina Claffey, from Birr, is an award-winning Irish nature photographer and author of 'Tapestry of Light - Ireland's bogs & wetlands as never seen before’, and ‘Portal - Otherworldly Wonders of Ireland’s bogs, wetlands and eskers’. She now features in 'A Guide for Wetlands Communities Engaging in Creative projects’, published by the Communities Wetlands Forum which was established to promote wetlands and peatlands. The compilation is seen as a major step forward in bringing Offaly’s wetlands communities together in shared purpose that has important ecological, societal and cultural benefits.
