10 Jan: IWT Webinar: Rights of Nature
The Citizens’ Assembly has recommended that Ireland’s Constitution be changed to include reference to biodiversity, perhaps to allow for recognition of Rights of Nature. This webinar will explore the ideas behind Rights of Nature and what it might mean for Ireland. We will talk to James Orr and Katie Holden about the campaign for the Rights of Nature to be recognised in Ireland.

22 Jan: Dublin: Bull Island Birding Outing
IWT Dublin Branch loves to start the year with an annual January outing to Bull Island to see the birds, especially the Brent Geese. We are fortunate this year to be led by two volunteers from Birdwatch Ireland. It promises to be a great morning. Bring binoculars and telescopes if you have them, but we should have some to share. And remember – wrap up well.
Location: Meet at the end of the Causeway, opposite the wonderful carved tree.
Date: Sunday 22nd January
Time: 11:00
