Become a Founding Partner in Transforming St Mary’s Priory into
Dublin’s Premier Urban Nature Sanctuary
Your Business Can Help Create a Lasting Legacy
Imagine your company helping to transform one of Tallaght’s most historic sites into a vibrant haven for nature, biodiversity and the local community.
The St Mary’s Priory Rewilding Project is an ambitious initiative to restore wildlife, improve biodiversity, tackle climate change and create an inspiring green space in the heart of Tallaght Village. Led by Dodder Action volunteers, this landmark project will become a living demonstration of environmental leadership, sustainability and community partnership.
We’re inviting forward-thinking businesses to become founding sponsors of this transformational project. There are funding options starting from as little as €50 to sponsor a square meter of wildflower meadow or a log-pile wildlife refuge. Or perhaps sponsor a swift box colony for €2,000, or a large wildlife pond for €3,000. The full list of options is below.
