  • Sliabh Beagh Masterplan
    SLIABH BEAGH MASTERPLAN 1 introduction 7 2 analysis 11 3 aims & objectives 21 4 themes & projects 27 5 action plan 45 6 appendices 51 Lough Nabul (Photo by Rory Sheehan) TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 Monaghan County Council and Fermanagh & Omagh Council have enjoyed a long-standing and fruitful cross border partnership, known as Ballybay Clones Erne East Partnership. This FOREWORDS has delivered many practical initiatives across the Ballybay Clones Erne East region over the last ten to fifteen years, benefiting communities in many ways. Two years ago, Ballybay Clones Erne East Partnership turned its attention to the Sliabh Beagh region. We saw an area which has experienced great hardship in the past, and continues to face significant challenges going forward, including being isolated physically, being an uplands area with marginal farmland, social isolation issues around rural transport, lack of broadband, and an ageing population. The picture is far from all negative, however; the area has tremendous natural resources, including pristine waters. It is a haven for wildlife, has outstanding natural beauty, a dark night sky, is a walker’s paradise and lies within easy Councillor David Maxwell reach of Ireland’s two largest urban population centres. Cathaoirleach of Monaghan County Council We saw an opportunity to support the communities across the region to identify what their area has to offer tourists and to help them to develop the region as a sustainable tourist destination. The development of this Masterplan provided us with an opportunity to engage with the communities across the region, and to come to a shared understanding of how the region should be protected and developed going forward.

  • Peatland Passport: Ireland Peatland Passport: Ireland 3 Peatland Habitats & Wildlife
    Peatland Heritage Sites to Visit in Ireland Welcome - Fáilte your journey of discovery starts here... No trip to Ireland is complete without a visit to a bog. Our peatlands are spread throughout the country and a visit to one or more will provide you with a unique experience of Irish biodiversity, history, conservation and culture. Each site chosen in this passport has its own character and is part of the fabric of the landscape and the life of the local communities in which it is located. A visit to any site will take you off the beaten track to help you discover for yourself the true heart of Ireland - our beautiful bogs and fens. There are many different types of peatland in Ireland for you to enjoy, depending on geographic region, terrain and vegetation. Two major types are bogs (which are mainly rain fed and nutrient poor) and fens (which are mainly fed by surface or ground water and tend to be more nutrient rich). Bogs in upland and western parts of the 1. Abbeyleix Bog, Laois; 2. Ballinamuck (Edenmore) Bog, country are blanket bogs while those in the Longford; 3. Bog of Allen, Kildare; 4.
