Welcome

We are Ireland's national biodiversity education organisation. Our aim is to empower young people across Ireland to help nature by giving them the support they need.

This is important for two reasons. Firstly, to tackle the biodiversity crisis by boosting eco-literacy and rewilding our schools. Secondly, to share with young people the joys of outdoor learning to boost their physical and mental wellbeing.

We're all about creating impact and work with Ireland's leading businesses, charities and public bodies to deliver this change. Education is our core function and we have assembled a superb team of scientists and teachers to do this - Ireland's first ever Biodiversity Education Officer network.

We provide absolutely everything needed to achieve this goal from teaching kits to workshops, school gardens to outdoor classrooms. We also coordinate the Nature Hero Award, the national mark of excellence in outdoor education.

Nature Hero AWards

The Nature Hero Award is Ireland’s first, standalone outdoor learning award. It is a mark of excellence for a school that recognises exceptional work by students and staff to help nature. The aim of the achievement is to create an educational space that nurtures a love of nature, develops a knowledge of our biodiversity and encourages action to help it locally.
