Common cottongrass bloom is one of the most spectacular nature displays in Ireland. Particularly found on raised bog cutover after restoration. Thanks to Abbeyleix Bog for sharing this video. It is a pleasure working with you on restoring Abbeyleix Bog.

Operation Rock Wallaby 🦘- #NPWS staff today dropped thousands of kgs of food (Mostly sweet potato and carrots) for our Brush-tailed Rock-wallaby colonies across NSW 🥕🥕 #bushfires

Recent aerial survey of Liffey Head blanket bog restoration site in Wicklow National Park where the aim is to bring water levels to the surface, where feasible. Images speak for themselves with raised water table levels now visible. Habitat monitoring will report more results.

67% drop in H. Harrier territories in the Slieve Aughties reported by NPWS. A look at aerial imagery shows extent of forestry within the SPA, and most on peatland. Permanent scaling back of forestry would have huge ecological benefits for HH and other valuable species & habitats

Finally I joined my colleague Cllr. David Healy and the Howth Access Group at Aideen's grave and on a boat trip with Mairéad Stack of NPWS to watch seabird colonies around Ireland's Eye.

Míle buíochas to all the people I met, heritage in good hands in Fingal.

Wicklow Gap junction at Glendalough got a makeover yesterday! Partnering with Laragh & Glendalough Tidy Towns, we planted 50 native trees of rowan, hawthorn, hazel, and birch in mesh cages to protect them from deer, with the support of NPWS. A scenic wildlife haven ahead 🌳🪺🐝🦇

Thanks to NPWS staff for reporting the incident to 1800 365 123 and to Wicklow County Council for investigating Dept. Environment, Climate and Communications Wicklow Uplands Council EPA Ireland

Very positive feedback on government engagement especially with Maritime Area Regulatory Authority and the Offshore wind taskforce from Dept. Environment, Climate and Communications. But the feeling in the room is still very much that ABP and NPWS do not have the resources they need to engage effectively on these projects. #WEIoffshore

photos have emerged of the cruelty by Nsw Npws and their not so sharp Minister Is it only a matter of time before they are held to account for the barbaric animal cruelty? They were warned and there is a Court ruling in existence! Animal Justice Party NSW RSPCA NSW Chris Minns Penny Sharpe

Police are continuing their appeal to the public after four National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) vehicles were stolen from a depot in Port Macquarie.
