Two Kerry projects have been allocated funding for peatlands initiatives.
They’re among 24 across the country to benefit more than €290,000, under the Peatlands Community Engagement Scheme 2023.
It encourages local initiatives to conserve and revitalise raised and blanket bogs, and promote public engagement with the natural heritage and environment.
