Discover the incredible wildlife of Hazelwood on this guided Biodiversity Walk and Talk, where you'll uncover the hidden wonders of one of Sligo's most beautiful woodlands. From towering native trees and colourful wildflowers to birds, insects and fungi, you'll learn how every species plays a vital role in keeping our ecosystems healthy.
Along the way, we'll explore the fascinating stories behind Hazelwood's habitats, discover how to identify some of Ireland's most iconic native plants and animals, and learn why protecting biodiversity has never been more important. We'll also shine a spotlight on invasive alien species, explaining how they impact our native wildlife and what simple actions we can all take to help prevent their spread.
Whether you're a complete beginner, a keen gardener, a nature enthusiast or simply curious about the wildlife on your doorstep, this relaxed and interactive walk offers something for everyone. Expect plenty of opportunities to ask questions, share observations and develop practical skills that you can use in your own garden or local community.
Come along to connect with nature, deepen your appreciation of our local unique biodiversity, and leave inspired to play your part in protecting Ireland's rich natural heritage.
