These little house designs will engage children with a new innovative and creative nature trail at the Wetlands site. The aim is to offer fun, enjoyment, inspiration and to impart education regarding the natural environment, through the experience of their little creatures’ homes on the trail.

The total budget for artist’s fee, consultation, design, fabrication, installation, all associated travel and insurance costs, inclusive of VAT is €1,500.

Many natural materials will be available on site at Tralee Bay Wetlands and these will be made freely available on agreement of design and timeframe for delivery.
