Thanks to a partnership led by Drogheda Tidy Town, Louth Leader Partnership, and in conjunction with local residents we collaborated to raise funds and work towards the creation of The Glen Biodiversity Park.
The efforts over the last 2 years has been to create a biodiversity park in The Glen, and to enhance the natural beauty of the area. The various initiatives such as tree planting, wildflower meadows, and the construction of Bee hotels will help to support local wildlife and increase the overall biodiversity of the area. The building and setting of flagpoles, which will soon see flag flying proudly. The installation of signage with biodiversity information and the history of Glen, which will provide an opportunity for local residents and visitors to engage with and learn about the local ecosystem.
This has all been achieve by partnering with local organizations and residents and by coming together to work towards a common goal. The total project cost of €65k to date and the long-term benefits of this project are immeasurable. We hope the Glen will create a more sustainable and healthy environment for all.
Additionally, Another fantastic development for the Glen is the installation of an outdoor gym, which will be made possible by a funding request from Louth County Council for €30,000. The installation of an outdoor gym is a great way to promote physical activity and improve the health and well-being of the community.
We have a lot more planned and we can’t wait to share in due time. Watch this space!!
