The project aimed to enhance green space in an urban area by demonstrating to local authorities the ecological advantages to prevent erosion using high-quality and 100% biodegradable matting materials. This project also targeted existing fisheries to be improved with an increase of people engagement and the support from the Inland Fisheries Ireland and the Tolka Trout Anglers Association. This piloted matting approach uses biodegradable weed control matting to be installed in areas of exposed soil. The site is being monitored by the Parks and Landscape Services Division to assess the effectiveness of the matting approach. First results indicate that it is preventing soil loss during flooding, resisting burning and reducing maintenance requirements.
