3rd Concept – Misconception Part 3
No reduced area for:• Lowland Hay Meadow – incorrect – Not all the Lowland Hay Meadow is indicated. It was not all surveyed for the first and second concept, and certainly seems to be the case for the 3rd Concept, given it is the same area outlined. The Lowland Hay Meadow extends to the Irish Water Pipeline. There will be loss.Now until mid July is the best time to visit the lowland hay meadow. See all the native wildflowers in all their glory.
