The Shanakyle Bog Restoration and Habitat Enhancement EIP-AGRI Project have produced a short new video showcasing the transformation process of this raised bog in Co. Clare over the past 12 months. Please see here.
This EIP-AGRI project aims to promote and raise awareness of raised bogs and peatland restoration among the local farming community and wildlife interest groups through the restoration and rewetting of 30 acres of raised and cutover bog, the creation of a wildlife pond, the installation of bird nest and bat roost boxes and the implementation of an invasive species eradication programme.
The key partners in this project are the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS), BirdWatch Ireland (Limerick Branch), Irish Wildlife Trust (Limerick Branch), Clare County Council’s Heritage Officer and the Community Wetlands Forum (CWF).
