Lough Grainey Valley in east Co Clare, Ireland, is an area of immense beauty and ecological and cultural value.

We are a community organisation dedicated to creating and maintaining a Nature Sanctuary in the Lough Grainey Valley.

We have been successful in purchasing and protecting the first 28 acres of land. Huge heartfelt thanks go to all of our donors and supporters, we couldn’t have done it without you!! Now, the wilderness and incredibly rich biodiversity of this land will be protected and preserved.

It is envisioned that the Nature Sanctuary will continue to grow.

The next stage of our expansion plan, and our current goal, is to buy 84 more acres of land currently for sale in the Lough Grainey valley.

Our aim is to protect as much land as possible and allow wilderness to thrive, and thus to ensure the increase in biodiversity, which, in turn, contributes to the health and well-being of the planet and all of us.

This land is unique and precious, it is rich in biodiversity including rare birds, plants and animals that are in decline, and some old oak trees, remnants of an ancient oak forest. Part of the land borders a river, and is a unique habitat with an abundance of wildflowers and wildlife.

At the present time of climate emergency, we need to protect nature more than ever before.
