Unique opportunity to enhance Kilcullen biodiversity
Kilcullen has a unique opportunity to look at local biodiversity and how it might be protected and enhanced, writes Noel Clare of Kilcullen Community Action. As part of a Kildare-wide initiative sponsored by Kildare County Council and the Kildare Leader Programme, two ecologists have been appointed to the town and will run two workshops where they will work with the local community to help promote local biodiversity.
The workshops will take place on Tuesday 10th March from 6.30pm to 9pm and on Saturday 21st March from 9am to 12.30pm. They will provide practical tips for creating and managing wildlife habitats including woodland, hedgerows, wildflower meadows, pollinator friendly ornamental beds, habitat boxes and more.
Anyone with any interest in supporting local biodiversity is welcome to attend. In particular community groups with land — all local sports clubs, community centre, church, and schools, are encouraged to send someone along. Local farmers and anyone with a garden be it big or small, would also be very welcome.
Biodiversity includes every aspect of nature and wildlife. The Kildare Biodiversity Programme was launched in Newbridge on Thursday night. Speakers included Eanna Ni Lamhna, Juanita Browne and Bridget Loughlin.
