The Irish Wildlife Trust and Dublin Port Company today launched the Together for Biodiversity Awards with the Minister for Culture, Heritage & the Gaeltacht, Josepha Madigan, T.D.
The awards are being run by the Irish Wildlife Trust, as part of the National Biodiversity Conference (www.biodiversityconference.ie ), and supported by Dublin Port Company. This is the first Irish awards programme of its kind dedicated solely to recognising and funding biodiversity champions in our society.
The Irish Wildlife Trust is now calling on Kilkenny community groups, schools, farmers and individuals to enter the Together for Biodiversity Awards, have their work recognised and be in with the chance to win funding for future biodiversity projects.
The Together for Biodiversity Awards are an opportunity to celebrate the fantastic work carried out by communities across Ireland to protect our natural environment. Individuals and communities all over Ireland are doing their bit to help save biodiversity through local projects.
Have you or your community been involved in a project to help protect local wildlife or habitats this year? Perhaps you planted a school wildlife garden, made your village more pollinator friendly or helped protect a local wetland. If so, all you have to do to enter is tell us about the work you carried out and how it helped your local biodiversity.
There are categories for community groups, farmers, schools and individual biodiversity champions. Finalists from each category will be invited to the National Biodiversity Conference in February to highlight their work. Winners will be announced at the conference with a prize of €2,000 for each category winner.
The Together for Biodiversity Awards are part of the National Biodiversity Conference, which takes place at Dublin Castle on 20th and 21st February 2019. The National Biodiversity Conference is being organised by the National Parks and Wildlife Service and the Irish Forum on Natural Capital.
