Meet our trees talk + walk: a session to learn about and connect with our native Irish trees

A session specifically regarding our native Irish trees. This involves an interactive talk with exploration outside then. Children will hear all about trees and how wonderful they are. I show children how we are similar to trees and I go through what a native Irish tree is with a timeline in history and a species list. We then go explore the school grounds or locality and find and identify the trees there, with an activity sheet for connection with the trees and some art.

Your local biodiversity

I can come to the school for a customised session specifically regarding a local habitat to explore, for example a local woodland, bog, seashore or rewilded area you have. This can be very hands-on with leaf identification, meeting bugs, birdwatching and recording, pond dipping, seashell collecting and identifying. We will talk about, identify and investigate the local biodiversity, exploring what we can do for nature.
