Image source: Valerie O Sullivan There is “some semblance of life returning” to Killarney National Park after the occurrence of a fire that destroyed swathes of the park recently. The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and Muckross Traditional Farms are working together to plant additional plots of wild bird cover. The aim of the pilot project is to enhance feed resources for the passerine species within the park. In doing so, both parties incorporated traditional methods of ploughing, harrowing, sowing the seeds (with a traditional seed fiddle), raking and rolling the plot using the Clydesdale horses of Muckross Traditional Farms.
