This summer the climate camp group will organise a camp that offers help to a community affected by abandoned ghost buildings to make use of them or dispose of them in a sustainable way.

 

 

 

There are about 2,800 ghost housing estates decaying all around Ireland, blighting communities with a grim atmosphere. We want to beautify one of them and make it into something useful for the people who must live in its vicinity all year round.

 

We are looking for volunteers in order to perform many tasks. If you're reading and you would like to see something done with a ghost estate near where you live, drop us a line on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

 

We're really interested in hearing from you if you are a student of art, architecture, interior design, permaculture, landscaping, horticulture, agriculture, or sociology.

 

If you're in an organisation that feels willing and able to contribute we also welcome collaboration.
