Site Management

Slop Bog Guardian volunteers have continued to assist the D.C.C. Countryside Rangers in the clearing and burning of brush wood from the winter felling of trees. A second donated owl nesting box has been sited in the woodland area at the rear of Hazel Drive. A further two chimney style boxes have been constructed by the volunteers, to be installed within the woodland corridor, where the Tawny Owls are known to have their territory. This , we hope, will provide them with more choice of location and style of box to reside for nesting.

Notice boards have been positioned at the four entrances to Slop Bog Nature Reserve.
