Celebrating wildlife and habitat richness along Drogheda’s Boyne Greenway.
This was a biodiversity project that highlighted and explored the wildlife, plants, and natural features found along the Boyne Greenway.
The initiative focused on raising awareness, documenting species, and encouraging community appreciation for the ecological diversity in this treasured green corridor.
The Boyne Greenway — a scenic path that follows the River Boyne and links countryside with urban life — supports a surprising range of plant and animal life. This project aimed to:
Record and celebrate species and habitats along the Greenway
Encourage walking and discovery of nature close to the town
Share information with residents, walkers and visitors
Support ongoing care and protection of green spaces
Rather than a one-off event, Other Nations 2 provided insight and inspiration for people to look more closely at the natural world around them.
Through guided walks, observation sessions and informal exploration, volunteers and participants looked at:
These sessions helped build an informal record of biodiversity and encouraged outdoor learning and curiosity.
The Other Nations 2 project delivered several positive outcomes:
By shining a light on the variety of species and habitats that exist along the Boyne Greenway, the project encouraged more people to notice, enjoy and protect nature in their everyday surroundings.
The Boyne Greenway is more than a walking route — it’s a living ecosystem that supports birds, insects, plants and other wildlife. Projects like Other Nations 2 help communities understand that nature isn’t only found in remote natural parks — it thrives alongside where people live, walk, and gather.
Join volunteers and nature lovers working to protect Drogheda’s green spaces and wildlife.
