Preparation and Appreciation of a Pollinator-friendly Urban Landscape
Join us for a 2 part workshop on creating pollinator-friendly urban environments in Kilkenny!
Part one will be an indoor presentation on pollinators and their habitat requirements.
Part two will take place outdoors on the grounds of Kilkenny castle, and will involve carrying out field work on bumble bees and pollinator-friendly planting schemes including trees, shrubs, pond, meadow and garden.
The Tidy Town Competition is to receive funding from Local Authorities for a prize category on pollinator-friendly planting. The committees and their helpers would benefit from training in this area.
Taking actions for pollinators in any village or town will lead to general biodiversity enhancement and will make the area more attractive for residents and tourists.
(Outdoor clothing and comfortable footwear recommended).
Date & Time: May 27th @ 10- 2pm
Place: Club House Hotel, Patrick’s Street, Co. Kilkenny , Ireland
Cost: Free
