If you visit Tramore Valley Park, let us know what species you find.

In 2022, Cork Nature Network secured funding from the Community Foundation Ireland and approval from Cork City Council to develop a Biodiversity Action Plan for the site. Additional funding was secured from the Local Waters and Community Project Office to undertake invertebrate surveys. The Biodiversity Action Plan was launched during National Biodiversity Week in May 2023.

The Biodiversity Action Plan is led by Cork Nature Network in partnership with the Local Waters and Community Project, Tramore River Community group, KinShip Project, Green Spaces for Health and Cork City Council.
