SCHOOL is now out for summer but before the holidays, Tralee schools enjoyed biodiversity walks and talks with students from secondary and primary schools in Tralee.
Funded by the Kerry County Council Community Support Fund 2023, these walks are a continuation of the biodiversity awareness raising work Tralee Tidy Towns is doing in the town with different stakeholders.
The walks, which were led by ornithologist Ed Carty and biodiversity expert Thomas Canavan, focused on the areas managed for biodiversity in the town park and how they’re contributing to wildlife corridors and important ecosystems which in turn are supporting a variety of native wildflowers, pollinators and bird life.

Chair of Tralee Tidy Towns, Brendan O’Brien said: “We are delighted to be supported by the Kerry County Council Community Support Fund for this project. We are continuing this work with the schools which we started last year and which was highly commended by our Tidy Towns adjudicator in last year’s adjudication report.”

“The town park is a haven for biodiversity and the sense of peace in these areas managed for biodiversity is something we should be proud of and maintain into the future,” he added.
Mayor of Tralee, Cllr Johnnie Wall said: “I think these biodiversity walks are wonderful and should be continued. They are a great way to raise awareness and appreciation of the biodiversity areas managed by Kerry County Council in the town.”
