Free hedgerow walk & talk on biodiversity and decarbonisation, with Dr. Catherine Keena, Teagasc Countryside Management Specialist

Reimagining Enniscorthy is connecting with Teagasc and Tidy Towns Enniscorthy for a free Hedgerow Biodiversity Walk & Talk.

Join us for a guided hedgerow walk with Dr. Catherine Keena, Teagasc Countryside Management Specialist, and hear all about hedgerows and their importance in helping protect our biodiversity.

We’ll find out about native Irish species of shrubs, trees and wildflowers, the importance of hedgerows as habitat for woodland plants and animals, and learn about how hedgerows act as wildlife corridors in our towns and countryside, providing food and nest sites for birds, bats and pollinators.

We’ll also hear about the different types of hedgerows, how they can protect our water quality, and help decarbonisation through the role they can play in carbon storage and sequestration.

This walk & talk is part of the series of free public events and workshops in the Reimagining Enniscorthy public art & community decarbonisation project.
