A Landscape Where
Nature and People Thrive
Established in 2024, the B Corridor Group brings together local residents, community groups, faith groups, schools and businesses. We have received support from Community Foundation for Ireland, Waterford City & County Council and the National Biodiversity Data Centre.
We work with communities, landowners and partners to restore habitats, protect wildlife and create a connected, resilient natural environment.
