A sanctuary for pine martens
Crom’s resident pine martens are some of just 320 thought to be left in Northern Ireland. Pine martens were historically widespread across Ireland but the disappearance of woodlands since the 18th-century has led to a drastic decline in numbers.
‘Crom represents some of the very best, most preserved semi-natural woodlands anywhere on the island of Ireland,’ said Crom ranger Malachy Martin. ‘Although we were aware that pine martens existed here, we didn’t have any detailed information on them.’
