Description :
This Call for Tender (CfT) seeks a suitable contractor to further develop multi-actor community-led pilot projects, building on successful preliminary projects in counties Galway and SW Mayo in 2021 -2024, which seek to develop local capacity to implement ecosystem restoration actions. Although the primary focus will be Rhododendron control, further peatland restoration methods and actions will also be developed and implemented, along with the identification of pressures and threats in the target areas. An important goal is to develop capacity at a local level. It is hoped that tenders will cover the 1st year of a potential 3-year programme (subject to further funding; Appendix 1).

There will also be re-treatment of target areas in these 3 sites of respectively 129 ha, 65 ha and 218 ha (Appendix 2). The control programme will be run in collaboration with the local community and relevant stakeholders.
