A survey commissioned by RCAG and funded by West Cork Leader confirms relatively high biodiversity levels along the proposed walking route from Carigfadda Church up to the hill's summit.

The report's author, Environmental Consultant Pascal Sweeney, concludes: "Overall, this route gives the walker the opportunity to appreciate a range of typical Irish rural habitats and species."

This survey is invaluable as a baseline, and provides the information we need both to preserve and enhance existing habitats and to produce interesting and informative interpretation material for the walking route.

Meeting with Coillte

RCAG Committee members met with Coillte Forest Manager Peter O'Rourke yesterday (23/11) to move the project to develop a public walking route up Carrigfadda Hill forward. During the meeting, which was very constructive, Mr O'Rourke agreed that everything RCAG proposed was not only feasable and acceptable, but also dovetailed well with a National Development Plan scheme called the "Neighbourwood" scheme.

Under the Neighbourwood Scheme Coillte would help us to plan and develop the walk including a native species arboretum showcasing Irelands 26 native tree species; accessible, well developed footpaths with steps where necessary; interpretation signage along the walking routes and public amenity areas with picnic furniture. Native tree species will also feature prominently alongside the main walking routes.

Threshing Machine
Excitement: the arrival of the threshing machine was a significant event on the community's rural calendar
Threshing was an integral part of everyday life in the Reenascreena area during the harvest months of the year up to the 1960's/70's, when the combine harvester was introduced. On the day of the threshing the local community would gather at a farmer's yard to help bring in the harvest. This was repeated for every farmer in the area, which showed a great community spirit. It is with this same spirit that threshing has been reintroduced to Reenascreena with an annual threshing and vintage rally in the village, commencing on Sunday 12th November, in aid of The Cope Foundation & The Friends of Perrott House.

Monday, 30 October 2006

As we head into the Winter of 2006/07, the time has come for a newsletter to outline happenings and plans.

During 2006, many projects have impacted on the locality: the refurbishment of St.Peter`s Church and the Village improvement works being the main ones. With regard to the Church, one has to ask why it was allowed to decline so far before action being taken? At any rate, it looks well now and, hopefully, the car park will be resurfaced soon. What do you think of having a centenary event to celebrate St.Peter`s?
