This is one of two new Biodiversity Information signs which have been placed in The Valley. The information is based on local knowledge and the 2016 Biodiversity Study organised by Kilcullen Community Action.

The signs complement the birdlife information sign on the Valley entrance near the Credit Union and together they cover most animal life in the riverside area around Kilcullen. Niamh O'Connor provided the graphics.

The signs represent the implementation of a project by KCA to improve signage in various parts of Kilcullen, in a package which includes name signs on all the approach roads, a tourist information sign at the Town Hall, and biodiversity signs for the Valley and Pinkeen Stream.

The total project cost is €17,000, and a €1,300 grant was provided by the Kildare County Council Heritage office. Kildare Leader provided a grant for 75pc of the cost.
