Scrub clearing at Crabtree/Lullybeg Reserve, County Kildare
Meet on the site at 11:00 am for habitat creation for the Dingy Skipper, Dark Green Fritillary, Narrow-bordered Five-spot Burnet moth and other species. We will uproot saplings and cut back regrowth encroaching on part of the site and place the cleared material in piles. Please bring work gloves, boots, and loppers.
Directions: This is reached from Allenwood by taking the R414 west and crossing Shee Bridge 1km from Allenwood on the left. Continue for 4 km, and the Bog of Allen Nature Centre is on the right. Turn right here and continue for 100 metres to the T-junction. Turn left here along the track and continue. Pass through three gates. After the third gate, turn sharply left along the rough forest track for 500 metres and you will see the sign for the reserve. The site grid reference is N687 256. See Discovery Series 49.
We apologise for any inconvenience.
