🌿A wonderful evening exploring biodiversity in Donegal.

🚶🏻‍♂️Earlier this month, we hosted a Biodiversity Walk at Fergus Kelly's farm near Convoy.

🌱Participants explored a rich landscape and learned about local biodiversity. They spotted plants, insects, pollinators and wildlife along the way. The walk also showed how farming and nature can work together.

A big thank you to Fergus for welcoming us to his farm. He shared his knowledge and passion for biodiversity and habitat conservation. Thank you also to everyone who joined us and took part in the discussions.

Events like these help us connect with nature and learn more about our local environment.

At Donegal College, we create learning opportunities that support people at work and in their communities.
