  • East Coast Nature Reserve - Thursday Volunteer Days

  • East Coast Nature Reserve (ECNR) is BirdWatch Ireland's largest reserve, covering 92ha. It forms part of the extensive Murrough Wetlands, an important coastal wetland complex which is designated as a Special Protection Area and Special Area of Conservation. Originally, the grasslands were intensively farmed, with tree-lined watercourses and a conifer plantation growing within the fen.

    Now, following management, the reserve offers a variety of habitats, from rare fen to wet grasslands to birch woodland, which can all be explored on foot through marked walking trails and observation hides.

    The Thursday work party consists of volunteers who help our warden with with the upkeep of observation hides, paths & boardwalks etc. If you would like to join this invaluable group of volunteers, fill in the form below.
