Next week (May 17-25) is National Biodiversity Week. There are events happening around Ireland to try encourage us all to get out and celebrate the great outdoors.
“National Biodiversity Week provides us with lots of great opportunities to get up close and personal to nature. Explore and enjoy our unique landscapes, from beaches and bogs, to rivers and urban canals, to forests and mountainsides. It’s amazing what you can discover, even in a familiar place! There are guided walks, talks, wildlife surveys, exhibitions and more.”
Jamestown Nature Reserve, Oylegate is starting its celebrations early with a workshop this Thursday 15th May 15 with “Wildflowers for Beginners & Improvers” presented by Zoe Devlin. For further info contact Will Warham @ 087 2082266 or visit the site www.jamestownnaturereserve.com
