On Sunday, 8th June 2025, staff from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (NPWS) hosted a community event at Raven Point Nature Reserve. The event celebrated the reopening of the southern tip of the reserve following extensive restoration work carried out under the LIFE Insular project.
The area had been closed to the public for several months to allow for the removal of pine trees and organic soil, aimed at restoring the natural dune habitat. The event allowed the local community to view the transformed landscape and learn about ongoing conservation efforts.
The site is also involved in the ground nesting birds protection project, and the Raven Point Nature Reserve coastal area is Little Terns and the ringed plover, which rely on the dune system for nesting. Staff highlighted the significance of continued protection for these habitats and species.
