April to SeptemberAbout the reserve
Much of the site was planted with trees in the late 1990’s and a small area is managed for wildflowers. The remainder of the site is curragh.
Management: The wildflower area is cut in early autumn once the profusion of knapweed has finished flowering and providing nectar for butterflies.
