June 2023 Blessington Tidy Towns is thrilled to announce the launch of the exciting and educational initiative, “Blessington Bug Ambassadors” for Biodiversity Week 2023 and World Bee Day. Designed to inspire young people aged 9 and up, this program aims to foster a deep appreciation for the captivating world of insects and invertebrates that inhabit our local areas.
Under the guidance of local entomologist Brian Murray, founder of Bees & Wasps of Ireland, children and their parents will embark on an unforgettable 2-hour field trip each month from June to September 2023. These captivating excursions will take place in some of the breath-taking biodiversity hotspots scattered throughout our beautiful region.
