Book released about Mayo’s dramatic landscape

Limestone lakes and turloughs, moorland and machair — Mayo’s dramatic landscape offers unspoiled natural habitats that are now among the most precious in western Europe. Its bogs and unpolluted rivers and lakes are home to rare plants and animals, its offshore islands shelter breeding seabirds and migrant Arctic geese. Wild Mayo takes the reader on a journey of discovery through the county. This illustrated book describes the rich wildlife and flora of a remarkable range of habitats, from mountain summit to pristine Atlantic shore. Signed copies of Wild Mayo are available from the heritage officer in Mayo County Council, €15 hardback.
