Roscommon PPN and Roscommon County Council are organizing a special workshop for Biodiversity Week. Join renowned horticulturist and environmentalist Aoife Munn at Lough Key Forest Park in Boyle on Friday, May 15th.
This one-day event is all about making our communities greener and more resilient in the face of climate change. Aoife will guide participants through practical steps to enhance biodiversity and adapt planting practices for changing weather patterns.
What to Expect
The workshop will include both indoor lessons and hands-on outdoor activities. Here are some key topics covered:
- Easy planting methods that benefit local wildlife
- Creating habitats for different species
- Seasonal planting combinations
- Managing rainwater with natural solutions
- Strategies for waste reduction and composting
- Building a more circular economy in our communities
This course is perfect for community groups eager to boost local biodiversity and engage in climate action. Tidy Towns, Men’s Sheds, and Environmental Groups will find especially relevant information.
Why It Matters
Biodiversity loss is a pressing issue. According to a recent report from the United Nations, approximately 1 million species are at risk of extinction. Workshops like this play a vital role in empowering local communities to take action. By promoting biodiversity, we can also improve our environment and quality of life.
