A new pilot project will aim to restore 30% of Clare’s church grounds at ten sites across the county to nature by the end of the decade.
Broadford, Clarecastle, Kilmaley, Moy, Inagh-Kilnamona, Mullagh, Kilrush, Killimer, Cooraclare and Miltown Malbay are the parishes that have been chosen by the local authority for the programme.

The project will aim to establish new habitats on church grounds, through the development of initiatives such as pollinator friendly fruit trees, wildflower meadows and barn owl boxes.
Clare County Council Biodiversity Officer Barry O’Loughlin says there’s a superb community effort involved.
