The theme of this year’s World Wetlands Day is “Protecting wetlands for our common future”. The Kill-O-The-Grange stream and the Integrated Constructed Wetland (ICW) at Kilbogget Park , nestled within the urban setting of Cabinteely/Loughlinstown is a wonderful example of how important our wetlands are, for our wellbeing, nature’s wellbeing and our journey towards resilience in the face of biodiversity loss and climate change. It is vital that we learn to protect the diverse array of wetland ecosystems that Ireland supports, for not only nature’s benefit, but for our common future.
Join Justin Ivory Community Water Officer with LAWPRO (Local Authority Waters Programme) and conservation ecologist Aoife O’Rourke for a 1.5-2 hour walk & talk around the Kilbogget ICW, sharing our knowledge and passion for wetlands and why they are so important.
Note: As we will be outdoors and walking off path at times please wear suitable clothing and footwear.
