DODDER ACTION

Duncan Stewart in This is Your River

Our Government is looking for input on the next draft River Basin Management Plan (RBMP).

While it is good that Government commits to try harder to protect our rivers, we are Off - Track and RBMP needs to be much more ambitious to have any chance of success. SWAN and DA try to pass on your concerns and demands to do much better.

Last year, we studied and planned how we could build Biodiversity and Community on the River Dodder lifeline in Milltown. We are very excited to share our first plan with you.

It’s probably our biggest nature repair project yet - how do we tackle years and years of dumped rubbish that is daming up the river, and restore a beautiful, healthy habitat for fish, birds, insects and humans to enjoy?

Data from over 50 Dodder Citizen Science volunteers shows a healthy river system with good water quality (relatively low Nitrogen and Phosphates pollution), but also pin-points several areas of concern.

Dodder Action's Chair, Kevin Dennehy, recently did an interview with Dublin South FM about Dodder Action's work and it's roots.

Our all-river clean-up is finally back on June 26th!

You’ve seen the state of the river banks - there’s no time to lose! Now more than ever, we need all Volunteers.
