Welcome

You are very welcome to the Biodiversity in Schools website. Our aim is to teach children all across Ireland about biodiversity and design projects to get them actively involved in Irish nature conservation.
 
We work specifically with primary schools and create educational resources for the classroom as well as offering school visits. As with everything we do we aim to keep things simple and fun - with a hefty dollop of science!
 
You should find everything you need to boost your school’s biodiversity on this website. Make sure to sign up to our newsletter and follow us on Facebook and Twitter for more ideas. If you would like to take part in one of our workshops, check out our school visits section.
Our projects have worked with...
​16,380
students across Ireland.
