| Members of Ballydonut and Ballydehob Tidy Towns with Cllr. Caroline Cronin, who helped us to sow yellow rattle. |
As part of our biodiversity action plan, we have set up an area west of Ballydehob, which is to be left wild for pollinators, butterflies and birds. The area was left uncut until September.
On October the 8th 2024, we, together with Ballydonut, sowed yellowrattle. Yellow rattle is an annual plant which thrives in grasslands, living a semi-parasitic life by feeding off the nutrients in the roots of nearby grasses. It eventually allows more delicate, traditional species to push their way through.
