Limerick, January 22, 2025 – This Wednesday, Ballyhoura Development and Living Woodlands will be teaching Limerick residents how to locally plant trees and create biodiversity havens at Coote Hall Resource Centre in Kilmallock at 7:30pm.
Participants will discover how they can create tiny forests that enhance biodiversity, with Dr. John Galvin of Living Woodlands introducing the Miyawaki method of planting, and offering useful tips on how communities can create small but effective havens for biodiversity. Not only does this celebrate small actions that can help the environment, but it also highlights the pivotal role of community-led initiatives like the EU Climate Pact in fostering climate awareness and action.
Rhiannon Laubach, EU Climate Pact Ambassador and Development Officer with Ballyhoura Development said: “The power of community is essential in addressing global challenges like climate change. Local action is key to making a difference. By encouraging residents to do something as simple as plant some trees in their neighbourhood, we could be making an impact on the landscape’s biodiversity, benefitting everyone. The EU Climate Pact is built on the foundation of collaboration and local action, and this event highlights the power of community in driving forward Ireland’s and Europe’s climate-neutral future.”
