Biodiversity Week at the Organic Centre
National Biodiversity Week is all about connecting people with nature. It’s about communicating the importance of biodiversity and motivating people to play their part in protecting it. It’s also about celebrating the fun and wonder that can be found in nature – and inspiring people to learn & do more. There are events covering all interests, from the ocean to the mountain tops.
Keep an eye on this page for a full list of the Organic Centres events coming soon and how to sign up. They will include
- Kildare Wildlife Rescue. Learn about their wildlife rescue and rehabilitation work, along with practical tips on what to do if you encounter injured wildlife
- Join TikTok star, ecologist and camera man, Fionn O'Donoghue for an introduction to wildlife photography, look at mammal tracks, signs, and general ecology, and where he shares his own passion for wildlife and why he feels its protection is so important.
