Cuskinny Nature Reserve, near Cobh, County Cork is a privately owned reserve which is managed by Birdwatch Ireland (BWI). The reserve comprises about 12 ha of land located along the lower reaches of the Ballyleary Stream. |
 |

The
reserve includes a mixture of lake, swamp, grassland and woodland habitats
and is of local nature conservation importance. It is also an important
local amenity and is used by local schools for educational purposes |
|
| The welfare of the wildlife of the reserve is your first consideration. The woodland and wetland contain many other species of flora and fauna. There is no access to the water’s edge or through the wood. Camping is not permitted on the reserve and swimming and boating of any description is not allowed on the lake. The area is so small that these activities would seriously disturb the wild life. Please keep to the roadway, parking area or the beach. | |
|
|
Beware of traffic at all times. This is for your own safety and the protection of the wildlife and plants. Stay away from the water. Please use bins provided in the car park and at the feeding site or better still take your litter home. Be very careful with matches and cigarette ends. Please keep your dog on a lead at all times and make as little noise or disturbance as possible. |
