IWT Dublin Branch’s January outing occurs on Sunday January 7th. We are most fortunate to have a birdwatch outing led by John Fox. Those of you who bought the book on Dublin Bay by, among others, Richard Nairn, who gave our December talk will know that John is the main photographer of that volume, so the outing should be spectacular. We meet on the causeway at 12 noon. Remember – dress warmly.
Author and IWT Campaigns Officer Pádraic Fogarty will be talking about his book – Whittled Away – and Ireland’s vanishing nature at Banagher Library.
Hosted by IWT Dublin Branch.
