Save our Laune on August 20th in Killorglin

There is a  great  eco  initiative  happening  in Killorglin  on August  20th this  year  Annascaul are  happy to  send  representatives to this  event and to  learns about  Beekeeping, bats, native  flowers,  pesticides etc

The  event  at  Library  Place outlines the issues  that affect  bio  diversity in Ireland . In paraphrasing  we see that

” Alien Invasive species are causing increasing problems for Irish the  native ecosystem and economy We see that many companies and voluntary organisations are engaged in tackling the issue around the country.   Plants, insects, birds and on up the food chain to humans  are all affected   See  the poster  here .Launescape – Heritage Week Celebration poster

Many of these invasive plants, do not flower until late summer, leaving our insects and birds without food in spring and summer.They cover entire hedgerows and riverbanks with a single species leaving gaps in the food chain and threatening  native species with extinction.  In order to tackle the problem we need to be serious in our attempts to control them.  Through the  generation and through  commerce and social activities we brought them here and so it is now our responsibility to control them. Our natural heritage is our only real wealth.

If  you would like to join us and help secure the future of our island please go to the volunteering   at    http://www.saveourlaune.org/#!volunteering/pksxr
