Galway landowners, farmers, community groups, and schools are invited to apply for free support to create wildlife ponds, mini-woodlands, wildlife hedges, mini-orchards and ‘plans for nature’ on their land, as part of Burrenbeo Trust’s ‘Hare’s Corner’ programme, in conjunction with Galway City and County Council’s Biodiversity Officers.
Applications are open until Thursday week( March 20th).
Landowners are welcome to apply online on www.BurrenBeo.com/THC
The support offered is in the form of materials (mixed species of native trees and heritage apple trees), micro-funding (towards machinery costs for pond digging), professional services (such as a hydrologist’s visit to help plan a pond, or an ecologist’s visit to ‘plan for nature’) and guidance.
The 2025 Hare’s Corner initiative in Galway is funded through a combination of public funding, including the National Parks and Wildlife Service’s Local Biodiversity Action Fund, and is an action of the National Biodiversity Action Plan 2023 – 2030; and private funding from NTR PLC, Greencoat Renewables PLC and Aldi Stores Ltd.
