Guided Butterfly and Dragonfly Walk Saturday 10th August: Blessington Butterfly and Dragonfly Walk Would you like to learn about Ireland’s beautiful butterflies and dragonflies? Then join the Native Woodland Trust on Saturday 10th August at twelve noon for a guided walk of our Blessington Nature Reserve. On the day we will explore the reserve looking for and learning about the different butterflies and dragonflies that call this beautiful reserve home. The Native Woodland Trust is an environmental charity dedicated to the protection of Ireland’s rare native and ancient woodland. The Trust achieves this by setting up woodland reserves around the country such as their reserve at Blessington in County Wicklow. This reserves network allows the Trust to protect existing woodland as well as plant new native woodland for the future. As part our work we run guided educational walks of our reserves to help the community get out and learn about their local woodland heritage at fun informative events. The Native Woodland Trusts Blessington nature reserve has a variety of different habitats that support a wide range of flora and fauna. As well as being educational this is sure to be a fun day out for all the family with the walk taking in parts of the beautiful Blessington lake shore. The meeting point for this walk will be at 12:00 noon at the ESB car park off the N81 just south of the reserve. For a map and further details please check our website nativewoodlandtrust.ie or the events section of our Facebook page. The walk will run from 12:00 noon until 2:00pm and all are welcome. The event is free for NWT members with a suggested donation of €4 for non-members. For more details please contact Kirsty at [email protected] or on 087 9619083.
