We celebrates Ireland’s biodiversity and natural heritage while addressing the challenges we face during the UN Decade of Ecosystem Restoration. The festival highlights conservation success stories from the South East and offers hope for a future of thriving wild places. Our aims is to promote a greater understanding and appreciation of the natural world and the importance of protecting it.
The festival marks important dates in the biodiversity calendar such as Fascination of Plants Day (18 May), European Maritime Day (20 May), World Bee Day (20 May) and the UN Day for Biological Diversity (22 May).
