Sunday 8th February 11am
Location: meet at the South Car Park of Ballyseedy Woods
Fee: 5euro per adult, children free
Supported by Kerry County Council, this World Wetlands Day walk in Ballyseedy will discover this ancient woodland, meaning it has been continuously covered with trees since the mid-1600. Along with this it is a Wet Woodland which is an annex habitat meaning that there is precious few of these ecosystems still left in Ireland.
