A strong turnout and great energy at our final Citizen Science Land & Water session last week.

Over the past number of weeks, participants across Clare have been getting hands-on with biodiversity — learning how to identify invertebrates, assess water quality, and better understand the natural environment on their doorstep.

Some video captures highlights from the final session.

Thanks to everyone who took part and helped make the programme such a success.

Let's be honest — every community group has those tricky conversations we'd all rather avoid. 😅

The disagreement at the committee meeting. The feedback nobody wants to give. The misunderstanding that's been simmering for weeks.

This Saturday, we're tackling them head-on (in the friendliest way possible!) 💪

Join us for Brave Conversations for Stronger Communities — a free, practical workshop to help your group communicate openly, handle tension well, and keep everyone pulling in the same direction.

👩‍🏫 Led by Fiona Levie of Levie Consulting
📅 Saturday 13th June, 10am–2pm
📍 Clare Education Centre, Kilrush Road, Ennis
🎟️ FREE — but places are limited!

Perfect for anyone on a committee, club or community group. Bring a colleague! 👇
