Global Action Plan Ireland

Global Action Plan Ireland Making Space for Change. GAP Ireland is an environmental charity.

We break big problems down, helping people to develop local responses and solutions, looking for practical ways to build sustainable communities everywhere. We work actively with communities, schools and business, assisting people to develop the required knowledge and skills, and encouraging them to design solutions to the environmental and climate crises.

From 8–14 June, Hedgehog Conservation Ireland are asking people across the country to keep an eye out for , and record any sightings to help researchers better understand Ireland's hedgehog population.

Look for hedgehogs in your garden, local park, green spaces or woodland, especially around dusk. Whether you spot a hedgehog alive or dead, every record helps.

NB: Please observe hedgehogs from a distance, do not handle them or disturb nests, take care when out after dark, and respect private property.

Find out more and submit your sightings at IrishHedgehogSurvey.com.

🌿 Finding Our Way Back to the Earth 🌍

The planet doesn’t argue, and it doesn’t negotiate. It simply speaks to us through its signals—the shifting seasons, the rising seas, the warming air.

For a long time, the global conversation around climate change has felt loud, distant, and overwhelming. It is easy to get lost in the noise of targets, deadlines, and data. But when we step away from the screens and put our hands in the soil, the message becomes clear: we are not separate from nature. We are a part of it.

Beneath the noise, a quieter, more hopeful signal is growing. It’s in the community gardens taking root in our towns, the native trees being planted by neighbours, and the collective realisation that protecting the planet starts with falling in love with it all over again.

👋 Reconnecting, One Community at a Time
This World Environment Day, Global Action Plan (GAP) Ireland invites you to step out of the climate anxiety and into community action.

Through our hands-on programmes, we help communities across Ireland rediscover that bond:
🌱 GLAS Community Gardens: Places to grow food, share skills, and watch biodiversity thrive.
🌱 Nature-Based Workshops: Rediscovering the local wildlife and ecosystems right on our doorsteps.
🌱 Nature Explorer for Schools: Fostering a reconnection with nature as a great teacher and a classroom ally.

"The planet has given us its signal. Our response doesn't have to be loud—it just needs to be rooted."

🌱 Cultivate Your Connection with GAP
You don’t have to solve the climate crisis alone. Let’s start by tending to the patch of earth we share.

Whether you want to get your hands dirty in a community garden, learn more about local biodiversity, or bring sustainability into your school or workplace, there is a place for you here.

🌳 NATURE EXPLORERS ON THE LOOSE! 🌳

Over the past few weeks, the boys from Holy Spirit BNS have kicked off their exciting Nature Explorer for Schools programme! 🦅✨

Our first adventure took us to Poppintree Park for a spot of birdwatching. Armed with keen eyes and lots of enthusiasm, we spotted a fantastic variety of feathered friends. While the elusive resident heron decided to play hide-and-seek today, the real showstoppers were on the pond...

The boys were absolutely thrilled to count 9 adorable cygnets swimming happily behind their proud parents! 🦢❤️

It’s been an incredible start to the programme, connecting with nature right on our doorstep in Ballymun and learning all about our local wildlife. Stay tuned for more updates from our young explorers!

This project is supported by the Department of Education and Dublin City Council.

What an incredible opening day at Bord Bia Bloom 2026! 🌸

We were deeply honoured to welcome President Catherine Connolly to Global Action Plan Ireland’s "Wish You Were Here" postcard garden yesterday.

It was an absolute privilege to greet the Uachtarán na hÉireann / President of Ireland Catherine Connolly and take her through the design, sharing the vision behind our garden and discussing the vital community climate action and environmental education work we do at GAP. Her warm engagement and genuine interest in sustainable, community-led change meant the world to our team.

The "Wish You Were Here" garden is all about connection, climate action, and the power of local communities. If you are visiting Phoenix Park this June bank holiday weekend, please stop by, say hello, and explore the garden for yourself! 🌿✨
