The BRIDE project kicks off
A new project in the Bride Valley in east
Cork will reward participating farmers for wildlife on their farms. The ‘Biodiversity
Regeneration In a Dairying Environment’ (BRIDE) project will provide participating
farmers with farm habitat plans that identify the most appropriate and
effective wildlife management options for individual farms. Farmers will be
paid for their conservation actions.
The Bride Valley contains a rich mosaic of farmland habitats alongside more intensively managed farmland, and supports a range of farmland wildlife. The River Bride is designated as a Special Area of Conservation |
