CABRAGH WETLANDS CENTRE COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Cabragh Wetlands Centre Company Limited by Guarantee manages the largest contiguous stretch of freshwater semi‑natural flood‑plain habitat on the River Suir. As a dedicated conservation and education organisation, it safeguards a mosaic of reedbed, tall‑herb swamp, wet grassland, calcareous fen, alluvial woodland, lakes, ponds and springs, providing vital refuge for rare species such as the green‑listed Grey Heron, native bumble‑bees and a host of wild orchids.

The centre’s core activities revolve around three pillars – Conservation, Recreation and Education. It undertakes habitat restoration, pollution mitigation and legal protection initiatives to preserve biodiversity, while offering responsibly managed opportunities for birdwatching, hiking, photography and fishing. Its outdoor classroom programmes, guided tours and interpretive signage turn the wetlands into a living laboratory where visitors of all ages can learn about ecosystem services, water filtration and flood control.

Cabragh Wetlands serves nature enthusiasts, schools, researchers and the wider community, fostering a deep connection with one of Ireland’s last untouched environmental treasures.
