Biodiversity on your doorstep

Wetland Surveys Ireland were delighted to present a talk and lead a well attended walk as part of Heritage Week along the River Laune and the reed bed and wet woodland areas within the Astellas grounds in Killorglin, Co. Kerry earlier in the week. 

A presentation on the value of wetlands was given by Dr. Patrick Crushell, who was assisted during the evening walk by Dr Mary Catherine Gallagher from WSI. As part of the event Astellas Ireland sponsored the production of a leaflet entitled ‘Biodiversity on your doorstep’ which provided information to participants on the wetland habitats and wildlife found along the walk route, which is part of the Castlemaine Harbour SAC.
