'Save a sod': Rosscarbery among scenic spots public asked to preserve

Environmental organisation Green Sod Ireland asking people to donate €25 towards preserving and nurturing land and species 

Páirc a’ Tobair ecology centre in Rosscarbery was gifted to Green Sod Ireland in 2018 by the Sisters of Mercy, Southern Province.

In the wake of a worrying report on the state of the Irish environment, an activist group has come up with a novel way for people to pitch in —  by "saving a sod" in some of the country's most beautiful areas.

Environmental organisation Green Sod Ireland has asked for people to donate €25 towards preserving and nurturing land and species in areas such as Rosscarbery in Cork, and Connemara in Galway.
