RUSH CUTTING USING LOW PRESSURE TRACKED MACHINERY, Lough Erne

Following the awarding of funding through PEACEPLUS Nature, RSPB Northern Ireland intends to improve the habitat at key sites at Lough Erne for breeding wading birds, particularly curlew. Key to these improvements will be the cutting of rushes to make sites more appealing to waders while reducing predation risk. RSPB NI is now seeking tenders from interested contractors as part the project, delivering rush cutting across several sites within the Lough Erne area.
