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.

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?

Reenascreena Threshing Committee would like to announce that they will be holding a Threshing and Vintage Rally on the 12^th of November, including a dog show, sideshows, music & good craic, in aid of the Cope Foundation and The Friends of Perrot House.

The event will be officially opened by Radio Kerry DJ John Greene. Look out for more details on this website, local media and posted locally soon!
