The River Dodder is one of Dublin’s great natural treasures – and Dodder Action is the volunteer group stepping up to look after it. From its source in the Wicklow Mountains to its mouth at Grand Canal Dock, the Dodder flows through neighbourhoods like Firhouse, Templeogue, Rathfarnham, Milltown and Ballsbridge, providing a green corridor for walkers, anglers, dog‑lovers, cyclists and wildlife.​

Dodder Action brings local residents, community groups and partner organisations together for regular riverbank clean‑ups, conservation projects and “citizen science” monitoring along the entire length of the river. Their volunteers remove litter, support tree‑planting and habitat projects such as Stepping Stone Forests, and promote a cleaner, healthier river for everyone to enjoy.

​Capacity is built every year by the Dodder Action committee. In 2017, a Capacity Building partnership was started with Dublin City Council (Local City Authority) supported by Dublin Bay Biosphere and Local Authorities Water & Community Office (LAWCO)
