Saturday 11th July. Another busy day for biodiversity in Trim.

First we had a Foraging workshop with Jenny Boylan Jenny Boylan. Jenny has a habit of coming to Trim on the hottest day of the year but this didn't stop everyone making the most of the very informative session. Thanks Jenny for your time and sharing your expertise 💚

In the evening, Terry Cassidy, local and BirdWatch Ireland Meath Branch member, hosted a 'Swift Walk and Talk' in Trim. This always proves to be a popular session and the Swifts did not disappoint. We were also lucky to spot the resident Peregrine Falcon in the town. Thank you Terry and to everyone who came along for the evening 🐦

The foraging workshop was funded by The Heritage Council

Last Saturday we were joined by Michael Bell ( ) for a Dragonfly and Damselfy Workshop in Trim. We learned all about the Odanata Family in Trim library (Meath Library ) and used information learned in the workshop out in the field where we identified species including Large Red Damselfy, Banded Demoiselle, Blue Tailed Damselfly and Azure Damselfy.

All these species will be recorded on the National Biodiversity Data Centre (Biodiversity Ireland ). This event was thoroughly enjoyed by all and we are grateful to The Heritage Council for funding this event though the Community Heritage Grant The Heritage Council 💚

Another great Plant Swap in the Swift Saturday before last! Thanks to all the helpers on the day and to everyone who brought along plants, seeds and cuttings and brought home something new 🌱

It was really great to meet so many new people and to watch the knowledge sharing in the day. Lots of people asking if we'll do it again so hopefully we'll do another at the end of the season 🪏

We also raised an extra €70 for in the process 💚

Huge thanks once again to the library staff
