Kilkenny Lions Club teams up with local school for special initiative sure to take roots!
Scoil Aireagail in Ballyhale and Kilkenny Lions Club go tree planting!
Kilkenny Lions Club has been teaming up with schools in County Kilkenny to carry out tree planting initiatives, as part of its goal to promote a good local environment.
The club is involved in various initiatives to promote this objective including clean ups, spectacle recycling, and tree planting.
The aim of the tree planting is to raise awareness among young people of the importance of biodiversity and nature generally.
Last year, the club teamed up with two secondary schools in the city and aim to expand this project in the coming years.
The school has been very active in promoting the environmental message among its students, with a lovely sensory and vegetable garden which has just recently been planted by the students.
The Kilkenny Lions Club team left with a sense that there is a strong environmental ethos in the school. The Lions will be conducting more tree plantings in schools in 2025 and hope to team up with Scoil Aireagail again.
