Keeping active and being outdoors, even during the winter, is important to help physical and mental health and wellbeing. We are going through difficult and challenging times but it has never been more important for us to look after our physical and mental wellbeing. A daily walk can do so much for our mind and body We have beautiful walks around the Cloonlarge Loop. Just be still at times and listen to the bird song. Our updated Trail Map is below. If you are not used to walking, try a 12 minute challenge for starters and gradually build up your time You can get good advice here on the link below

Our wild bees are in trouble, but you can help by supporting the New All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2021-2025.

If our wild bees could talk, they would ask us to do two things

1. Let our hedgerows flower  
2. Let grassy areas bloom

If we did this across the island it would provide a range of native wildflowers throughout the life cycle of our wild bees and other insects and give them a fighting chance for the future.

“To humans, neatly manicured grass might look tidy, but to our wildlife it must look a bit like the apocalypse!
Shortly mown grass doesn’t support biodiversity – longer grass supports a myriad!”

Thankfully it’s easy to reverse things –  just cut less often to give the slower growing wildflowers a chance to flower amongst the grass!

In 2020, Thanks to reduced mowing and more Dandelions, Biodiversity Ireland had more solitary bee records submitted than ever before! It really does make a difference!

Pollinators need more areas of native flower-rich grassland – no matter how small – in order to find enough food.

 Please Don’t Mow, let it Grow
