Conservation Work Group
Would you like to help protect and enhance your local wildlife and wild places? And have fun, meet new people and get outdoor excercise all at the same time? Well then, why not join us on our new Conservation Volunteers Work Group.
We will be carrying out practical conservation projects in different locations throughout Laois and Offaly. Initially we will carry out 3 sessions starting at the end of September (exact date and time TBC) and December but hope to roll it out on a more regular basis thereafter. The tasks are aimed at people of all levels of skill, experience and fitness. Work is carried out at each individuals own pace, so please don't feel you won't be able for it. And of course there will be plenty of tea and biscuits throughout!
Likewise, please don't be put off if you feel you can't attend every event. You choose when and where suits you to attend. So contact us at the details below to find out more or sign up to our emailing list.
Abbeyleix Bog will be the location of our first event. We will be removing trees alongside the new boardwalk to help aid with the restoration of the raised bog ecosystem. The site is well worth visiting, truly one of Laois's hidden gems, and a great example of a successful community led voluntary project. We will be guided by the Abbeyleix Bog Project and Conservation Plan for the site.
