Biodiversity and Invasive Species Walk and Talk

Discover the wonders of Hazelwood on this engaging **Biodiversity and Invasive Species Walk and Talk**. Join ecologist Yosef Dvores from Habitat for Knowledge for a guided walk through one of Sligo's most treasured woodlands, where you'll learn about the rich diversity of native trees, plants, birds and other wildlife that call this special place home.

Along the route, we'll explore the fascinating relationships between species, discover how healthy woodlands support biodiversity, and learn how to identify some of Ireland's most common native flora and fauna. We'll also examine the growing threat of invasive alien species, how to recognise them, the impacts they have on our natural ecosystems, and the practical steps we can all take to help prevent their spread.

Suitable for adults, families and anyone with an interest in nature, this relaxed and informative walk is a great opportunity to connect with the outdoors, ask questions, and gain practical knowledge to help protect and enhance biodiversity in your own community.

Tea and biscuits provided.
