Ireland's biodiversity education organisation
We are Ireland's national biodiversity education organisation. Our aim is to empower young people across Ireland to help nature by giving them the tools and support they need.
This is important for two reasons. Firstly, to tackle the biodiversity crisis by boosting eco-literacy and creating habitats. Secondly, to share with young people the joys of outdoor learning to boost their physical and mental wellbeing. We're all about delivering impact and work with Ireland's leading businesses to deliver this change. Education is our core function and we have assembled a superb team of scientists and teachers. 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. |
