A major biodiversity project is set to create hundreds of habitats in Galway this year.
The Hare's Corner project is running in Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Meath, Offaly and Carlow.
It supports landowners to create wildlife ponds, mini-woodlands, hedgerows, mini-orchards and plans for nature on their land.
The project's aiming to create 1,600 habitats across the six counties - more than double the combined total of recent years.
