Native Tree And Shrub Planting To Herald Start Of Works At Bray Head

Future works on the par 3 will create a natural park, including trails and a meadow area, and will commence later this year.

Green Party Cllr and Chair of the Bray Head SAAO (Special Area Amenity Order) Management Committee Cllr Erika Doyle said,

“The vision for this area is simple in keeping with the protected nature of the area, but will transform it for wider use  by the community. 

“One of the first steps is to remove and replace the existing Leylandii hedgerow with native trees and shrubs.

This will vastly increase the biodiversity value and ecological connectivity of the area.

Local groups like Biodiversity Bray and Bray Tidy Towns will be on hand to continue the planting work at the location they have become synonymous with over the years. 

“As Chair of the Bray Head SAAO Management committee I’m delighted to see progress on the site aligning with objectives of the Amenity Order legislation, which was drawn to protect Bray Head.

Our committee has worked over the years to ensure that the management plan is adhered to, in order to protect Bray Head for generations to come, while also enhancing the area for public amenity."
