The new Professional Practice Journal for the Outdoor Sector on the Island of Ireland

Lasmuigh is a professional practice journal that aims to both inform and reflect the field of outdoor education on the Island of Ireland by reporting on and sharing good practice. The publication serves as a commitment to the ongoing development of practice, to sharing ideas and innovations, and to promoting an awareness research on outdoor practice on the Island of Ireland and Internationally. Lasmuigh seeks to engage with and be inclusive of all those who share the outdoor setting for experiences be they recreational, developmental, educational, therapeutic or other.

We want to hear your story! In keeping with our values at Lasmuigh we aspire to publish content that engages with the broad range of those who work in the outdoor sector and encourage submissions ranging from ideas for practice to submissions that seek to expand the evidence base for outdoor interventions. In keeping with the inclusive values of Lasmuigh artwork, poetry and book reviews related to the outdoor sector are also encouraged.
