🌍 Celebrating 100 years of Sir David Attenborough 🌿

To mark the centenary of Sir David Attenborough, one of the world’s greatest champions for nature, Trinity College Dublin welcomed pupils from South City CNS for a guided biodiversity tour of the campus. During the visit, Trinity students shared readings inspired by David Attenborough: Little People, BIG DREAMS, celebrating his lifelong dedication to the natural world 🌱🦋
From uncovering hidden habitats to learning how everyday actions can protect biodiversity, the day celebrated curiosity, care and connection with nature, values Sir David Attenborough has inspired for generations.

Here’s to nurturing the next generation of nature protectors 💚

Don’t panic if you see the mowers out before Friday, that’s the Final cut before the lawns go wild! We’re not cutting several lawns across our campuses to let nature do its thing. Who knows what will pop up this year?!

Download the iNaturalist app and let us know what you find on campus this summer!

Happy Earth Day! Here’s one small thing you can do for nature today - download iNaturalist and help us learn more about the species on our campus. This will let us know if all of our efforts to promote biodiversity are working and where we need to focus our efforts. Tell us what you’re doing for Earth Day!

If you want a handy way to contribute this Green Week, show some support to the Grow College Green project! It will make accessing campus so much safer and easier, plus more trees and areas for gigs and events is a gorgeous use of that space!
