The smallest county in Ireland, County Louth is steeped in myth, legend, and history. Its name derives from the Irish An Lù, meaning "after Lugh,” an Irish god. Appropriately, the Leinster County’s nickname is “The Wee County.”
Louth, the land of legends, from Cuchullain and Ferdia, has so much to see and offer, while the north east of the country has more to see and do, than you might first think.
The Louth Branch of MS Ireland are hosting a fundraising walk along the Carlingford -Omeath Greenway at 7.30pm on the 19th May. The event is in memory of Mary F.
Funding for biodiversity projects in Louth
Reporter:
Almost €32,000 has been awarded to biodiversity projects in Louth.
All of the local projects to receive funding promote actions contained in the National Biodiversity Action Plan (NBAP) 2017-2021.
The grants offer funding to assist local authority biodiversity officers and heritage officers in local authorities without a biodiversity officer.
This year the funding was double that of 2020.
The local diversity projects that received funding include €5,000 to carry out a PILOT fire-risk survey of part of the Carlingford Mountain SAC, €500 for hedgerow awareness project, in which a highly visible 50 metre section of hedge will be laid in a prominent location, alongside a busy road and €12,750 for the eradication of alien invasive species along the Carlingford to Omeath Greenway.
