This grant scheme aims to enhance biodiversity in communities throughout the country by combining the expertise of qualified ecologists with the skills, experience and enthusiasm of local community groups. We engaged Wild Work to work with us to produce this BAP.

Coláiste Choilm - School Biodiversity Project - School Biodiversity Plan
One of the recommendations in our Biodiversity Plan was to involve the local schools in projects. To this end, a biodiversity project for the transition year students of Colaiste Choilm was implemented with the purpose of increasing the biodiversity value of the school grounds as well as raising awareness of biodiversity within the school. Transition year students under the supervision of a wildlife biologist and a horticulturist carried out a number of different wildlife projects from January 2019 to May 2019.
