Kildare Biodiversity Week is now on

Today's Teddy Bears Picnic, apart from being a family leisure event, is also the first of three events in Kilcullen for Kildare Biodiversity Week, writes Brian Byrne. The KCA-organised afternoon will include vegetable and fruit tasting and a composting demonstration and discussion.

On Friday next 24 May, an illustrated talk on why being in nature is good for you will be given in Kilcullen Library, starting at 7.30pm. Dr Elizabeth Cullen will be presenting and the event is suitable for both adults and children.

On Saturday next 25 May, Kilcullen resident and UCD ecologist Dr Jan Baars will present again his very popular 'What's in our River?' event, at the back of the Heritage Centre. From 1pm to 3pm, young and not so young can be fascinated by this hand-on exploration of Kilcullen's Liffey populations. Organised by KCA.

Kildare Biodiversity Week runs from 17 May to 26 May. A booklet with all events around the county is available from Kilcullen Library (you can pick it up at today's Teddy Bears Picnic).
