🌿 Enhancing The Wanderer Sculpture, St Dominic’s BridgeThe new planting at The Wanderer Sculpture marks another small but meaningful step in Drogheda Tidy Towns’ ongoing improvement work. The new planting creates a natural frame for this piece, improving the riverside bank environment and also adding biodiversity to the area. The modern Corten steel artwork itself, installed in 2015, shifts in form as you move around it, Boann, the godess of the Boyne from one angle, a bird in flight from another. The planting includes evergreens ornamental grasses and colourful herbaceous plants chosen to provide year-round texture and seasonal interest.And yes, the overflowing bin that once distracted from the sculpture has thankfully been relocated, allowing the artwork and its new setting to stand uninterupted.All these actions together will help feature The Wanderer as it should be, a cultural landmark better integrated into its environment.Many thanks to David Cunningham and the LCC crew for their support with the planting work and to the funding we received through the LCC Tidy Towns Grant that made this work possible.#drogheda #LouthCountyCouncil #biodiversity #droghedatidytowns #Thewanderersculpture ...

🦇 A Fantastic Evening learning about Bats! 🌿What a nice evening we had at our Guided Bat Walk on Thursday. We were delighted by the huge turnout. It was wonderful to see such strong community interest in our local wildlife.A huge thank you to Peter Phillips, Conor D’Arcy, Sinéad Hanlon, Dahlia Agüero and Gerard Murray of the Louth Bat Group for delivering such an informative and enjoyable walk.While we didn’t see as many bats as we had hoped, the evening was a great opportunity to learn about these fascinating creatures, their habitats and the important role they play in our local ecosystem. 🦇The event formed part of the biodiversity being delivered by Drogheda Tidy Towns, with grant support from Community Foundation Ireland and the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS). The project is helping us put our local Biodiversity Action Plan into action through a range of community-focused activities, including biodiversity education .A sincere thank you to everyone who joined us, and to the Louth Bat Group for sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm with us. 💚🌿🦇#DroghedaTidyTowns #BatWalk #LouthBatGroup #Biodiversity #Drogheda #TheDale #biodiversity #CommunityFoundationIreland #NPWS ...
