Creating eco corridors

Creating eco corridors in our village is going to happen ! Huge thanks to Galway County Council and Galway County Biodiversity Office for giving us a grant to start a habitat mapping project this summer.

Which will allow us to put in place a new biodiversity plan for 2025 to 2030 to focus on cultivating eco corridors and develop a biodiversity trail for our village partnering with our clubs.

Check out great information resource on eco corridors below and learn more about what they can do for our village biodiversity.

New free All-Ireland Pollinator Plan resource on ecological corridors

Ecological corridors connect isolated habitats, helping insects, birds and mammals move safely through the landscape. They can include hedgerows and roadside verges, watercourses, and greenways. They can also include built up areas where rows of gardens and community spaces connect urban parks.

In all cases, ecological corridors – and the habitats they connect – must be managed in a way that helps biodiversity. This means taking the right actions, letting native plants grow, and avoiding pesticides.

This booklet contains tips on creating ecological corridors in communities and on public land, with case studies and links to further resources.
