Episode 2
In this episode, the Goat Surf Club connects with some new friends from Hometree - an environmental charity tackling Ireland's declining biodiversity by planting trees, creating community and bringing natural woodlands back to Ireland.
There’s a lot that the crew took away from Hometree’s story - there’s so much power in community when it comes to creating change.
When you bring people together to do good, that goodness can spread.

Episode 3
Ireland is windy and wind doesn't always lead to great surfing. So, when we set off for a surf adventure in Ireland we knew we had to do some searching.
In between our hunt for waves, we connected with some fellow goat lovers - the Old Irish Goat Society.
They're using goats as a way to mitigate wildfire potential in Ireland.
