The land has faced industrial extraction in the past.
An Offaly community organisation is making an effort to conserve and restore a local bogland.
Tullamore Lions club are aiming to preserve the Clonbeale Bog in Rath, which suffered from industrial harvesting for many years previously.
The steps being taken include blocking drains, taking water from the land, building an eco-friendly walkway through the bog and carrying out a conservation plan.
Chairperson of Environmental Sustainability in Tullamore Lions Club, Michael Carroll says they want to encourage other clubs to do the same:
