Biodiversity Action Plan
The Biodiversity Action Plan for Ballyhaunis examines the biodiversity in the town and its potential for improvement. Grant funding was obtained from The Community Foundation for an ecologist to conduct fieldwork and research in 2022. We are fortunate to have the Friary Grounds and the Dalgan River as highlights of our town's biodiversity. With this document we are able to implement important steps to protect and preserve our ecology.
BAP Launch
We celebrated World Water Day on March 22, 2024 by launching the Ballyhaunis BAP!
Small actions to care for our biodiversity
Invasive Species Report
Invasive species are non-native plants which have been introduced from outside the country. They have a negative impact on the wildlife and habitats due to their ability to spread aggressively outcompeting native plants, causing damage to the environment, human economy and or health.
​
We commissioned this report to identify such species in the town and to document any significant impacts of these species.
Partners
We are grateful to these businesses and groups for supporting our biodiversity.
