The Glen of the Downs is an invaluable national treasure - an icon of ancient oak woodland nestled in Wicklow. Tragically, its growth and vibrancy has been stifled over the years. Bounded by agricultural land on all sides and dissected by a major road, the Glen of the Downs struggles to breathe.

Our petition calls on Government to double the size of the Glen of the Downs Nature Reserve through the purchase of 200 acres of land in Delgany, currently on sale. As can be seen from the map, this land adjoins both the Glen of the Downs and Kindlestown Forest.

Purchasing this site would join these two forests and provide a once in a lifetime opportunity to expand on this magnificent oak woodland, preserving it for future generations.

Please sign and share this petition to Call on Government to Double the size of Glen of the Downs Nature Reserve.

[This petition builds on the excellent advocacy of local environmentalists Annette Vaucanson Kelly, Eoin Llewellyn, Yasmine Fortune and many others who over the years have campaigned passionately to protect the Glen of the Downs.]
