Eirk Bog is a national nature reserve of approximately Шаблон:Convert in County Kerry.

Features

Eirk Bog was legally protected as a national nature reserve by the Irish government in 1986.[1] It is also a Special Protection Area.[2]

The Bog represents part of a well developed and relatively undisturbed intermediate bog, with a poor fen, Atlantic blanket bog, and wet heath land.[3] The underlying geology of the site is old red sandstone. The Bog is the most southerly area in Ireland used by the Greenland white-fronted goose, and one of the few peatlands used by the birds as a feeding site.[4][5]

In 2017, it was proposed that Eirk Bog be included in an extension of the UNESCO Killarney National Park Biosphere into a larger Kerry Biosphere.[6]
