It's another Wild Weekend!

First it was the bats, then the birds, writes Brian Byrne, now Kilcullen is set to have a second Wild Weekend on Friday and Saturday.

This time it's the bugs, butterflies, and all the other animals you find by the river in Kilcullen.

On Friday morning at 11am, ecologist Dr Mary Tubridy will lead participants along the new boardwalk at the Bridge Camphill to explore the local nature. She'll also provide details of a photographic competition. At 3pm Friday Michael Jacob, wildlife educator, will provide a Butterfly Walk experience.

On Saturday morning at 11am, local resident and freshwater biologist Dr Jan Baars will set off on a walk and talk about animals in the river.

All events are suitable for families, and will start from An Tearmann.

The series is part of the Biodiversity Survey being conducted along Kilcullen waterways, commissioned by Kilcullen Community Action.
