Which sites will we be working on?
The Wild Western Peatlands project is at an early stage of development. It’s a big project and our ambitions are high. We have an overarching framework for action, but we now need to develop detailed plans – and we want to do this in close collaboration and partnership with local communities, environmental NGOs, specialists and State Agencies.
We’ll be holding initial consultations to advance this shortly, so if you’re interested in working with us on this project or would like to learn more, contact our Communications and Partnerships Manager, Hannah Hamilton: hannah.hamilton@coillte.ie.
What bog rehabilitation has Coillte done in the past?
Coillte has previously completed three major bog rehabilitation projects with the support of EU funding, but this will be the largest undertaken to date by far. The project will involve a wide range of external peatland experts and local contractors. It will create significant biodiversity and outdoor recreation benefits and improve the visual amenity of this iconic landscape.
