€12,750 each will go towards both eliminating giant hogweed and knotweed in Clare, along with a barn owl survey for the county.
The rest of the funding will be earmarked for surveying wetland sites in the county, looking at protected species in the Burren, and addressing knowledge gaps with the Quagga mussel discovered in the River Shannon last year.
