Scohaboy Bog

[3] The raised bog restoration programme at Scohaboy is one of Ireland`s most successful community supported conservation and climate action projects.

As well as typical high bog plants, Scohaboy provides habitat for the rare Sphagnum imbricatum, and Prunus padus has been recorded.

The project was jointly funded by EU Directorate-General for the Environment, the National Parks and Wildlife Service (at that time in the remit of the Department of Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht) and Coillte.

The Cloughjordan Community Development Association is involved in the management of the project at Scohaboy, where 71.80 ha of bog are being restored.

[2] The Cloughjordan Community Development Association extended the boardwalk in order to connect with existing bog roads to create the 5.75 kms Loop of Laghile and Loughaun National Trail, launched in May 2019 by Author and Guide, John G. Ó Dwyer.
