Update 2017

After last years success we're not resting on our laurels - we are determined to make biodiversity even more central to everything we do. We are continuing to develop our dispersed urban orchard and other pollinator actions and we are including more of this type of work with our Junior Tidy Towns and our Estate Enhancement Plans

The Bumblebee Friendly Lawn

A bumblebee friendly lawn has been created in Woodlands - its easy - just dont mow!!
Let nature take its course and you will have lovely clover in white and mauve as well as lots of little visitors - Saied counted 15 bumblebees buzzing around his lawn the other day!

Frog Friendly Patch

Cluain Lorcain has had lots of baby fogs in one of its green areas this year. Its now been christened the Frog Friendly Patch. Stay off the grass there in the springtime!

Ladybird Friendly Estates

We've been busy adding to our biodiversity actions through the addition of ladybird towers and ladybird friendly planting.

Hedgehogs Welcome here!

Now we are encouraging hedgehog friendly action s. The allotments in Killygoan are developing Hedgehog-friendly actions and we had a workshop on this with Billy Flynn, ecologist in April.
