Would you like to help improve the educational benefits of an important woodland? If so then come along to the Native Woodland Trust’s Ardan nature reserve on Saturday May 3 from 11am -3pm for their volunteer day.
The Native Woodland Trust is an environmental charity dedicated to the protection of Ireland’s rare native and ancient woodland.
The trust achieves this by setting up woodland reserves around the country and through protecting existing woodlands, such as their reserve at Ardan in County Westmeath. This reserves network allows the trust to protect existing woodland as well as plant new native woodland for the future. Part of the work they do involves running volunteer days for members and the public to encourage more people to get involved in their local woodlands.
On the day they hope to design a route through the wood with information signs about the different types of trees. This is a great way to get some fresh air and exercise whilst doing your bit to improve this woodland for public education and enjoyment. The meeting point for this event will be Tyrrellspass Castle car park at 11am.
