Sinead Mc Donnell, Limerick City and County Council’s Biodiversity Officer is urging people to support the events or “just get out and about in nature. Use your senses to explore, listen and immerse yourself with the nature on your doorstep.

“There is a wealth of biodiversity all around us, Biodiversity Week is a week to highlight nature and that as humans we are part of biodiversity and not separate from it.”
