ViClarity Team Helps Strengthen Maharees Sand Dunes

September 15, 2023

Our Tralee team, led by John Ogie Sheehy (Global CIO and CEO of European Business) this week, joined Maharees Conservation Association in their work to strengthen the Maharees sand dunes before the winter storm season.

The team took part in the planting project along Brandon Bay on Wednesday and with a quick demo on how to plant marram grass, they succeeded in replanting 100 metres of the fragile sand dune.

Chair of Maharees Conservation Association, Aidan O’Connor said: “We were delighted to welcome the team from ViClarity out here today. Their work and that of all the other volunteers that help us is making our dunes stronger and more resilient to winter storms and that, in turn, is supporting our community and the wildlife that depends on the sand dunes.”

Ogie Sheehy (Global CIO and CEO of European Business, ViClarity) said: “Delighted that the ViClarity team were able to help Aidan and his committee with such a fantastic initiative. Great to be able to give back to the local community and also to preserve our beautiful Kerry Coastline.”
