The Burren—an alien-looking limestone landscape,
. . . on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way,
. . . which has been used for cattle farmers as winter grazing land
. . . (winter grazing is unheard of in much of the rest of Europe)
. . . for more than 6,000 years.
it's a unique ecosystem of rare and unusual plants,
. . . many of which were carried to The Burren,
. . . as seeds in the last ice age.
And some of which are not found anywhere else.
. . . It's also, apparently, a significant source of carbon sequestration.
