This year, Ballyhoura Development is hosting a learning series on biodiversity in the local area. The series will include local biodiversity workshops; indoors, outdoors and online. There will be discussions on the benefits of biodiversity for food, health and the climate.
Find out how biodiversity benefits YOU!
The workshops will be split into three themes over the course of the year:
Theme 1: Food
Theme 2: Water
Theme 3: Habitats and Wildlife
All workshops are open to everyone in the Ballyhoura area. By attending any or all of the series, you can expect an opportunity to explore the local area and come away equipped with a stronger knowledge of the Biodiversity of Ballyhoura. You will be empowered to take steps at home and within your community to protect nature. This series will assist in achieving the targets of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15 – Life on Land.
