The quarry is a huge unused landmass that is closed to the public. It was last in use as the Drogheda Corporation landfill site, which prior to that was a large limestone quarry used by Irish Cement since the 1930s to 1998. However due to the lack of human interference, It has become an excellent pocket of urban wildlife, as well as a great location for abandoned urban scenes with some small areas of disused buildings and long since vandalised equipment.
We have commissioned a local Apiarist who is a very keen nature activist in Tony Conaghy, to document the Flora and Fauna, plus the avian and animal life present.
Cement Quarry Survey is currently ongoing and will continue right through the summer. Once completed we will publish a document that will be will be backed up with pictures and will be uploaded to our website for public viewing on: https://droghedatidytowns.com/
In knowing whats present in this wonderful haven by documentation its only then we can pursue a plan in the future to help nature and its biodiversity.
