Love Your Community
The Love Your Community poster placed on the Village Green nudges us to consider the role that ‘community’ plays in our lives and the role that we can play in our community. Participation and involvement are key elements of society. The active involvement of individuals within their communities and in broader society helps generate pride, spirit, identity and a sense of well-being. Local people in Birdhill are encouraged to interact with neighbours, join clubs and organisations, attend community events, participate in decision-making, etc. It’s your community! Be part of it! Engage, Volunteer, Connect!
Storm Éowyn
Many local houses, farms and businesses were badly hit by the recent storm, some without power for over a week and much cleaning up to be done. We are more fortunate than other parts of the country where electricity and water outages are still ongoing. Our Community Park was badly hit, with a number of trees down and a considerable amount of debris to be gathered up.

Notice Nature
As we begin a new year, it would be great to get as many as possible from the local community observing and recording the changes in the environment around us. When did you see the first snowdrop or daffodil? On what date did you first note frog spawn in a local pond or drain? When did the first swallow arrive to your area? Please look out for the bursting forth of new growth, the arrival of migratory birds, the awakening of hibernating creatures, etc. We would love to hear about your findings.
National Outdoor Recreational Strategy
National Outdoor Recreational Strategy (2023-2027) was developed to oversee and guide the development and promotion of all aspects of outdoor recreation in the country. A key recommendation was the development of a County Outdoor Recreation Plans (CORP’s) for every county. Tipperary County Council along with multiple local partners including Tipperary Sports Partnership are currently driving the development of a County Outdoor Recreation Plan for Tipperary. The plan will aim to lead, guide and facilitate the sustainable development and management of outdoor recreation and increased participation, in order to realise social, health and economic benefits. We will do this whilst respecting the custodians of land and water, caring for the environment and promoting responsible recreation.
