Between August and October 2021, the ‘On the Ground’ project installed 69 leaky dams and gully stuffing on the Ballyhallan River and tributaries, Bocharney River and Cloontagh River. Some of these measures were implemented with the help of volunteers (thank you!) and the larger dams were installed by our construction partner, Inish Forestry. You can view our video of the construction on the YouTube video included in this page. Other videos on the project are available through the Trust’s YouTube channel.
The different types of dams installed are shown below.
