The Bellanagare Bog (Irish: Portach Baile an Turlaigh) Special Area of Conservation (or SAC) is a Natura 2000 site based close to the village of Bellanagare and the town of Castlerea in County Roscommon, Ireland.[1] The qualifying interests by which it is protected as an SAC are the presence of three habitat types: the presence of active raised bog (priority habitat), the presence of degraded raised bogs still capable of natural regeneration, and the presence of depressions on peat substrates of Rhynchosporion vegetation.[1][2][3]
