Calling all nature enthusiasts – A new community group is forming in Ballybunion for anyone interested in Nature. We live surrounded by a unique and special coastline where we have many important species of plants and animals. One of those species is the ringed plover, a small ground nesting wader that breeds along our coastline. A kick-off meeting will be held in Coast cafe on Friday 21st March at 7pm with plans on how the group will start to follow these little birds breeding season and document their success rates locally as well as identify ways we can help them.
Come along and get involved and let’s identify exciting ways we can get out in nature while contributing to the conservation of the special habitats we have surrounding us.

We had another fantastic Friday on the Farm this week.
Lots of delicious food harvested at @thebarnaway and prepared by Stephanie from Rituals of Plate, who also preserved a lot of food for our upcoming Winter events.
We had a film screening of the films created so far in the project (coming soon!) with our embedded artist Lisa Fingleton.
We learned about seed saving and saving seeds from tomatoes, beans, celery and flowers. Rena Blake talked us through preparing a garden for Winter.
We also went for a walk in the woods and into the meadows to see the spectacular Devil’s Bit Scabious which was buzzing with bees, hover flies and butterflies
We were delighted to have Clare Watson with us for the day.
