Would you like to celebrate Valentine’s by coming along to our Drummin Bog Volunteer Morning!!

All are most welcome. Even coming for an hour to support the little bog, would be much appreciated.

We can guarantee that some lopping and chopping is a great way to finish a stressful week!!

Details in the poster above. If you think you can come, do please let us know so we can get an idea of numbers.


Huge thanks from the Drummin Bog Project committee.

The Drummin Bog Project has a program to remove invasive species from Drummin Bog

We need volunteers to help us cut rhododendrons, tackle bracken

Join us to enjoy tea and biccies, and artisan cheese
and hear more about the Drummin Bog Project!!

Spend some time on this very special Bog, the only one remaining raised bog
in the SE of Ireland, in South County Carlow.

Work starts (on site): 10:45 am – 1.30 pm 

We have a few loppers and work gloves. Please feel free to bring your own

Please bring your own cup / keep cup and sandwich

PLEASE NOTE: Access to Drummin Bog is limited due to the sensitive nature of the habitat and its status as a wildlife reserve. Great precaution must be taken in visiting the bog due to its unmarked deep drains, and other hazards. It is therefore recommended people do not walk on the bog alone. Children must always be supervised and no dogs please as efforts are in place to encourage birds to return. Thank you for understanding. In time, a woodland walkway is envisaged. The Drummin Bog Project is in its very early stages.
