An raibh a fhios agat gurb iad na beacha baineanna amháin atá in ann cealg a thabhairt? 🐝Nó go mbíonn cuid aifidí torrach ó bhroinn agus go mbíonn clóin acu? 🤯 Seo cuid de na fíricí iontacha a d’fhoghlaim muid le linn ár n-imeacht, Seilg Feithidí, Dé Domhnaigh le ! Ba mhaith linn ár mbuíochas a ghabháil le gach duine a d’fhreastail ar an imeacht agus a tháinig ar gach cineál ciaróg, damhán alla, beach agus go leor eile 🤩

Meabhrúchán do chuairteoirí go bhfuil plandaí ag fás i dTearmann Dúlra Dhroim nDamh atá faoi chosaint dhlíthiúil agus níor chóir iad a phiocadh nó a bhaint ó fhréamh, mar shampla sabhaircíní, cloigíní gorma agus nuacht bhallach. Is ceann de 7 bPrionsabal 'Ná Fág Lorg' é 'Fág Rud Ar Bith A Fhaigheann Tú', agus ní mór dúinn cloígh leis seo chun ár dtionchar ar an timpeallacht a laghdú agus spás fuinniúil agus sláintiúil a chothú.

Go raibh maith agaibh as bhur gcomhoibriú.

A reminder to all our visitors that some of the plants growing in Drumnaph Nature Reserve are protected by law, and should not be picked or uprooted. Some examples include primroses, bluebells and common spotted orchid. 'Leave What You Find' is one of the 7 Principles of 'Leave no Trace', and upholding this minimises our impact on the environment and helps sustain a healthy and vibrant space.

Thank you for your cooperation.
