Thank you team! Prep by Donlon family meant that the fences were rolled and ready for carrying off the beach. Many hands made light work and the job was completed well within the hour. Again local support helped bring the rolls to winter storage. Great job 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Help! Last night’s storm has wrecked havoc with our fencing on Portnaling. With high tides and waves forecast for later we need as many hands as possible to move the fallen fencing out of danger. Can you help at 2pm today? It’s still pretty wild out there so dress warmly and stay safe. Thank you!

Thank you to the twenty plus people who enjoyed healthy productive exercise whilst helping to protect our sand dunes at Ballyhiernan Bay. Many hands made light work and the job was completed within 90 minutes. Special thanks to Sean for his help to move the rolls of sand fencing from the beach by quad and trailer and Gael Fhanada LGFA members who showed their significant energy levels. Great community work!

Let’s hope the new marram grass established behind the fences this summer will protect the dunes during the winter storms. Next Spring we’ll bring back the sand fences to areas of the dunes in Fanad in need of stabilization. Watch this space for news of the next work-party!

Are you fit and healthy and willing to help out with an urgent task this Saturday 3rd October at 10 am?

The current high tides are lapping at the toes of our sand traps on Ballyhiernan Bay, Din’s shore. We need to remove and store the front line of the traps to prevent them from being washed away in the winter storms. The traps have performed magnificently and the vegetation growth should give the dunes protection. We’d love a great turn out, many hands making light work and short time scales. Please come and get your exercise with us on the beach!
