Dodder Action

Dodder Action The Dodder and its tributaries are a fabulous natural amenity in Dublin that has sadly been abused and neglected for far too long.

Action group set up to clean the Dodder and its tributaries, improve facilities and amenities along its length and fulfil the potential of this fabulous natural resource. In 2010 members of the Irish Green Party and local residents organised clean ups of the river on approximately 12 weekends from the Firhouse Weir to Clonskeagh. Following on from this, members of the Green Party with the help of

a group of local people decided to organise cleanups along the river which was badly damaged in the devastating floods of October 2011. The short term goal of the group is to remove litter from the river and its surroundings, medium term to increase basic facilities such as increasing the amount of litter bins and benches along the route and long term to exploit its potential as a recreational area and find a solution to the dumping of rubbish in the river.

Great Big All-Ireland Hedgehog Count 8th to 14th June 2026


SDCC is encouraging you to take part in the inaugural 'Great Big All-Ireland Hedgehog Count' starting today by recording all hedgehog sightings in South Dublin County on the National Biodiversity Data Centre website



Hedgehog numbers are in decline across Europe and your participation in the hedgehog count will assist in understanding the hedgehog numbers in Ireland. Hedgehog Conservation Ireland is encouraging people all across the country to make an extra big effort to look for hedgehogs in their garden, local park, green areas or woods. Hedgehogs become active at dusk and please admire them from a distance as it is very important that we do not disturb the hedgehogs or their nests during the count. Further information is available at Irish Hedgehog Survey (https://biodiversityireland.ie/surveys/irish-hedgehog-survey/)
