Conservation Volunteer - North Bull Island

The North Bull Island Nature Reserve is unique, having several nature conservation designations for the habitats and species it supports, as well as being designated as a special amenity area for its aesthetic and recreational value. North Bull Island is managed by Dublin City Council and is an integral part of the Dublin Bay UNESCO Biosphere (www.dublinbaybiosphere.ie). The island is used daily by walkers, bathers, kite-surfers, beachgoers, bird-watchers, nature enthusiasts, and many others.

Dublin City Council’s vision for North Bull Island reflects the vision for the wider Dublin Bay Biosphere, which is to promote a balance between people and nature, i.e. amenity/recreation and ecological conservation. The conservation volunteer programme on North Bull Island is regarded as an important element to achieving this vision.
