The Conservation and Restoration of Girley Bog

Irish Peatland Conservation Council

Celebrate Biodiversity Week 2022 by joining the IPCC for a walk and talk to Girley Bog in Co. Meath on the 15th May from 2-5pm.

Causey Farm

Girley Bog is a raised bog nature reserve and Natural Heritage Area (NHA) located in Co. Meath which is part-owned by the Irish Peatland Conservation Council. In 2021, the 8.5ha IPCC owned section of the raised bog was chosen as part of the National Parks and Wildlife Service Protected Raised Bog Restoration Programme to undergo new restoration techniques helping it to store water and sequester carbon. These restoration methods include the installation of trench and contour bunds on the high and cut bog which reduce the flow of water off the peatland. To celebrate Biodiversity Week 2022, IPCC are hosting a walk and talk event to Girley walk to view and learn about the restoration that was completed on site to date. Participants will also learn about the formation of peatland habitats, their role as climate change champions and the wildlife that call it home. A frog search will engage your little ones into learning about the importance of bogs as homes for all animals. All participating members will have a better understanding of the need for habitat restoration and current threats facing Irish peatland habitats. This is a free event open to all members of the public including children under the supervision on an adult.We meet at Causey Farm carpark (C15 P83R), Co. Meath at 2pm. Please dress for the weather and wear strong, waterproof footwear.For any queries contact us at bogs@ipcc.ie or by phone on 045 860133.
