As the year comes to a close, we’d like to wish everyone a very Happy Christmas. It’s been a great year at Ballydangan Bog, with positive signs for wildlife and fantastic local support. Thank you to everyone who helped make it possible.

Thank you to Etain Fallon, a Transition Year student at Mercy College, Roscommon, who recently supported our conservation work on Ballydangan Bog.

Some activity on our trial cameras!

We were pleased to see some Red Grouse on our autumn count using pointers and setters. Monitoring is key to guiding our management efforts on Ballydangan Bog. Thanks for the support @heritagecouncil.ie @npwsireland.bsky.social @nargc.bsky.social Bord na Mona, Roscommon CoCo, and many others!

Bog restoration in action this week by Bord na Móna. Drain blocking helps restore the raised bog, benefiting both the community and the wildlife that depend on it.
