Thanks to the kind folks at Blessington & District Credit Union

Local businesses supporting local woods 💚🌳

Local partnerships matter.

Just outside Blessington, Co Wicklow, lie two of our precious nature reserves: Blessington Wood and Bevans’ Wood. These are sites of native woodland rehabilitation — places where nature heals with a little help from volunteers: clearing invasive species like buddleia and snowberry, fixing deer fences, maintaining young saplings, and monitoring wildlife through citizen science.

That’s why we’re so proud of our partnership with the Blessington & District Credit Union Ltd. For every loan issued, a portion is donated directly to these reserves — supporting real, local conservation efforts.

This year, their members’ generosity has funded owl nesting boxes, fencing repairs after Storm Eowyn, and new hand tools to remove invasives species from both reserves.

💚 Local businesses supporting local woodlands.
Thank you to Blessington & District Credit Union and their members for making such a difference.
