National Biodiversity Week is from 16th to 25th May this year, spanning International Biodiversity Day on May 22nd and will be celebrated across Ireland with the collective aim of connecting people with nature.
Free walks and talks are happening to give you a chance to experience nature and learn more about nature in Ireland. The coordination of Biodiversity Week is organised by the Irish Environmental Network (IEN) and funded by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS).
Limerick City and County Council are hosting several Biodiversity Week events, from the night-time talk and walk, Bats of Bruree, led by Bat Rehabilitation Ireland’s Susan Kerwin, an Awesome Pollinator workshop at the Sallybank/Corbally Wildflower Meadow along with other events targeted at specific project groups.
Limerick’s national Biodiversity Week Events are supported by the Heritage Council’s Local Authority Biodiversity Action Plan programme and through the NPWS’s Local Biodiversity Action Fund.
