I'll be giving a talk this Saturday on creating nature habitats in your garden or community setting supported by my colleagues from Wildflowers of Newmarket. If you are curious about this, come along to this community gathering. Its the second event in our series of get togethers to celebrate nature

Great talks today at the ITEN tree symposium at the very impressive Education, Conservation and Research centre at Fota wildlife park.

Nature shows us that we are heading in the right direction

The blackbirds in the Lower Grounds certainly enjoyed the effects of Thursday nights rain. It was such a joy to stand back and see them preening themselves.

Delighted to give my first tree talk of 2025 to the dept of Learning and Teaching UCC. We looked at some of our more interesting species around the Quad and Presidents Garden and spoke about the connections people had with the trees and folklore associated with the trees. @ucclibrary.bsky.social
