Place & story

A community project in 2022

Ballinderry Development Association secured biodiversity funding in January 2022. Four field visits between May and September informed Ann Marie Fleming’s plan, published in February 2023. It records work already undertaken around the village: a 1.5-kilometre riverside walk beside the Ballyfinboy, approximately 300 native trees planted, and cooperation with the local school. These are activities of the wider Ballinderry community rather than a survey confined to this townland. [2]

Reading the roadside hedges

The plan’s survey along the Borrisokane Road found blackthorn and whitethorn prominent among the shrubs, with bramble abundant and elder frequent. Ash was the principal tree, but many specimens showed signs of ash dieback. The assessment drew attention to hedges as connections between the village and its agricultural surroundings, giving a detailed 2022 record of an everyday feature of the local landscape. [2]
