Meitheal group recommences Rhododendron fight

The Killarney Meitheal group has re-commenced its assault on the invasive Rhododendron plant in Killarney National Park.
Each Sunday and Tuesday morning from 9 until 12 for the next few months the group will meet and set about controlling the growth of the plant.
“Much good work has been done in recent years but there is so much more to do. We wish all involved well in their endeavours. All the work is done in co-operation with the NPWS which has responsibility for managing Killarney National Park.,” said former town mayor Michael Gleeson who is one of the main devotes to the challenge.
“We'll also be taking on the task of treating and removing regrowth of Rhododendron from areas we've already cleared - from Courtney's to Torc, Bluebell Wood, and Pool Wood. This regrowth is totally normal, as those sneaky seeds often lie dormant in the ground and then sprout during wet conditions like we had this summer.
New Volunteers always welcome – join the team at Abbey Cross every Tuesday and Sunday 9 am – refreshments will be served after each session.
