The Hare's Corner - Making Space for Nature by Jane Clarke and Catherine Cleary

The Hare’s Corner celebrates farmers, families, schools and community groups all over Ireland who are restoring habitats, reviving biodiversity and reconnecting people with the land.

Uplifting stories and poems interwoven with enchanting illustrations and photographs bear witness to the renewal and well-being that can blossom when we make space for nature in our lives.

Named after the traditional farming practice of leaving field corners for wildlife, The Hare’s Corner is inspired by small, thoughtful actions that can spark powerful change. Readers are invited to rediscover the beauty and wonders of their own landscapes, urban and rural.
