Groundwork Ireland
 Ireland  |  Animals/Wildlife

Established in 1981, Groundwork is a voluntary environmental organisation, dedicated to the preservation of some of Ireland's most precious habitats.

Groundwork was established in 1981 to organise Rhododendron eradication workcamps and thus help in the fight to conserve our last remaining fragments of Irish native woodland. Those 27 years have seen the growth of Groundwork from a small group of environmentally-concerned Irish students to an organisation attracting like-minded people from all over the world to carry out voluntary work in one of Ireland's most beautiful natural landscapes. Most of Groundwork’s focus has been on the removal of the invasive Rhododendron ponticum from Killarney National Park, Co. Kerry. Other projects have been tackled including rhododendron clearance work in Glenveagh National Park, Co. Donegal and drain blocking on bogs in the midlands of Ireland.
