“Míle buíochas to Micheál Mac Gearailt, Tony Peter Walsh and Shannon Town Community Wetlands, a group who have restored a wetland habitat in the centre of Shannon town. The Senior pupils of Scoil Naísiúnta Baile Uí Chárthaigh engaged in a Wetland Ecology Workshop this morning as part of National Biodiversity Week which included a Plant and Flower Identification Game, a Bird Identification Game, Pond Dipping for Macroinvertebrates such as Dragonfly Larvae and a Leave no Trace Workshop. All activities were fun, interactive and educational with some small ecology related prizes provided by the National Parks and Wildlife Service. Thank you to Mr. Dillon for organising the trip and Amy for accompanying the group. Huge gratitude to parents and guardians for providing lifts to and from Shannon “
