A new initiative aimed at encouraging people to explore the outdoors safely and confidently has been launched in Ballyhoura, a rural outdoor destination spanning counties Limerick and Cork and part of Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands. The initiative will see guided walks taking place across the Ballyhoura and Galtee region over the coming months, along with selected walks in nearby mountain areas.

In recent years, biodiversity has emerged as a vital theme in rural tourism, and the Ballyhoura region is no exception. But what does biodiversity really mean? It refers to the variety of living organisms, from plants and animals to ecosystems like woodlands, wetlands and grasslands. It is essential for keeping the natural world in balance and provides us with important services such as clean air, water and healthy soils.
