Ecological Assessment of the Habitats in the vicinity of Kinvara

Kinvara Tidy Towns have received a grant from Galway County Council Community Support Scheme to explore the ecology in the vicinity of Kinvara. The main focus on the study was to gain an understanding of the most valuable habitats firstly within the remit of the Tidy Towns, secondly within the Kinvara Hinterland and finally immediately adjacent to the town.

In this way it will be possible to build up a picture of the habitats and species using Kinvara and the ecological context in which the village of Kinvara is situated Kinvara Tidy Towns have commissioned an Ecologist Jen Fisher (B.Sc) to undertake this work. It is hoped that the Ecological Assessment will provide advice on best practice management for Kinvara Tidy Towns going forward. Information gleaned will be utilised to develop display boards highlighting the wildlife in the village and surrounding area and in the development of a biodiversity trail for the village.
