A talk on the importance of pollinators in biodiversity will be given on 9 January at the Town House Hotel in Naas, writes Brian Byrne.

Hosted by Birdwatch Ireland, it will be given by Rory Finnegan, Head Gardener at the Castletown House Demesne in Celbridge.

The Demesne received a Pollinator Award in 2017 as part of the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan 2015-2020. The OPW team there has been managing 80 acres of semi-natural grassland as a summer meadow, which is is cut once a year.

The talk begins at 8pm. It will be an ideal event for anyone who wishes to develop an interest in pollination and biodiversity, in advance of the growing seasons.
