A new group aimed at encouraging Cavan landowners to restore local boglands has been set up.
Led by Arva man, Ian Wilson, the Restoring Cavan's Boglands group have organised three information evenings in Cavan. Anyone can go along to learn how to restore bogs on their land and the benefits this relatively simple action can have for the local and nationalenvironment.Those unable to attend the information sessions can talk to an expert on zoom or even visit a restored bogland in Cavan to see for themselves how bogin its natural state improves biodiversity, sequesters carbon and attractsindigenous flora and fauna. A field trip to see a the restored Killyconny bog in Mullagh, Co. Cavantakes place today with a bus leaving Ballyconnell at 10am.
Ian Wilson from the Restoring Cavan's Boglands group says the benefits will
be felt in Cavan and beyond.
