Connecting The Dots: Native Woodlands and Your Creative Response

Join the Irish WIldlife Trust for a special heritage week event where you will connect with nature in beautiful broadleaf woodland. Led by an Irish Wildlife Trust guide, you will learn about oak, ash, wych elm and more and the complex ecological processes supporting our native trees. Alongside our woodland walk artist and lecturer Gareth Kennedy of NCAD FIELD and the postgraduate diploma in Art and Ecology, will set up a woodland encampment. Here participants will handle, craft and work with woodland materials, exploring their histories, potentials and using them to gently connect their head, their hands and their hearts with the woodland habitat.

This event is open to all ages. Children are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Please dress appropriately for an outdoors event in the woods. And please be aware that we will be walking on uneven woodland surfaces. To have less impact on the woodland, dogs and other pets are not permitted at this event.
