We are glad to report that our tickets for the end of year Conference are moving fast on our Eventbrite page. We have a great lineup for the morning of Friday December 12th in the Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney.

At long last we have printed 'Our Wild Native Woodlands' booklet. The booklets are awash with terrific illustrations, inspired short stories, and poignant poems from school children from around the County and our own Biosphere Officer, Brendan Kirwan.

We are delighted to host our end of year Conference in the Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney on Friday December 12th at 10am until 13:00pm. We will be focussing on water and the biosphere including nature-based solutions for water management, and the health of our natural waterbodies. This is a free event with thanks to support from Kerry County Council. 

Our friends in Kerry County Council and Crainn CiarraI are hosting a fantastic two day event celebrating hedgerows and trees in Kerry. Taking place on Friday October 24th in Tralee Bay Wetlands and on Saturday October 25th in Local Roots Tree Nursery, Cromane, the event is awash with information and entertainment. 

The Kerry Biosphere is delighted to team up with Kerry County Council once again with double-header launch event scheduled in Killarney Library at 15:30pm on Friday October 17th. Kerry County Council have collaborated with a host of artists to create hedgerows themed artwork including creative writing pieces and small sculptures. We can link Our Wild Native Woodlands with this initiative. 

We are delighted with the progress of 'Our Wild Woodlands' booklet. Artists from Kerry and beyond answered our call for an artist to help us with our booklet and we were thrilled with the response.  We have commissioned a talented artist to prepare illustrations for inclusion in our booklet, the images capture the essesnce of the woodland species. The booklet comprises short stories, poetry, and illustrations to highlight the intrinsic beauty of Ireland's native woodland habitats. 

We were thrilled to welcome Mr Féidhlim Harty to the Kerry Biosphere once again. Féidhlim hosted an interesting and relevant workshop in the beautiful surroundings of Killarney House on the morning of Thursday August 28th. We went into depth on topics such as managing stormwater and wastewater in sustainable, cost effective ways that are low impact on our natural resources.

The Kerry Biosphere, with support from Creative Ireland and Kerry County Council Arts has developed a booklet, 'Our Wild Woodlands'. The booklet has been developed to highlight the intricate value of our native woodlands and the habitats and species they support. We are highlighting the beauty of the woodlands through the medium of art.

We are delighted to host Féidhlim Harty once again to facilitate a workshop in Killarney House on Thursday August 28th. Féidhlim's workshop will focus on nature based solutions for water management and for tackling biodiversity loss. The workshop will be interactive, informative, and entertaining. We will be delivering the workshop in the comfortable surroundings of the Garden Room in Killarney House.

We are delighted to host Féidhlim Harty once again for our last workshop in support of our Rainwater Planter Initiative. Féidhlim's knowledge and expertise are wide reaching and our workshop is sure to be informative and entertaining in equal doses. Whether you are a farmer, lamdowner, or have a general interest in biodiversity and nature based solutions then there will be something for you.
