Welcome to another episode of Ours To Protect, as we take a closer look at biodiversity and sustainability in Co Clare.
In this episode, Pat Flynn visits Corofin to meet two members of the local tidy towns group which like many these days, are involved in more than just ensuring their local area looks well.
Many groups are now expanding their remits to include Biodiversity and Corofin Tidy Towns is one such group.
There are a number of positive bio-diverse projects and programmes already in place in Corofin.
Joe O’Connell and James Organ are members of Corofin Tidy Towns group.
