Biodiversity Walk and Talk with Éanna Ní Lamnha
More than just a walk, this event is an invitation to connect with nature and gain a deeper appreciation of ancient Irish trees.
By following this short tree trail through Ballon Village the visitors passes twelve Irish trees, each denoted with a plaque.
Although it is more usual to plant ornamental tree varieties in village centres and housing estates, native trees attract more native birds and insects, and so increase biodiversity within the village. Some of the common trees such as beech, lime and sycamore have not been included on this trail. This is because they are not native, but were introduced into Ireland by man hundreds of years ago, and have since become naturalised.
Venue: Ballon Tree Trail, Ballon, Co. Carlow
Time: 6 p.m.
Admission: €10
