IMBOLC PLANT WALK – INVASIVE SPECIES
Saturday 1st February @ 12pm
Letterkeen Trailhead / Brogan Carrol Bothy, Letterkeen, Srahrevagh, Newport, Co. May
Join Wilderland for a plant walk to celebrate Imbolc, St. Brigid’s Day, and the first day of Spring!
The walk will be led by Michael Chambers, Head Guide at Wild Nephin National Park and will take place on the Letterkeen Loop. Michael will introduce attendees to native and invasive species along the trail, and the work being carried out to help with conservation and nature restoration, as well as the biodiversity, ecology and folklore of the region.
Attendees will also be gathering plants for artist Clare Breen and Kasia Kaminska’s year-long collaborative plant collection project Flower Féilire, to produce a large-scale cyanotype artwork and calendar of Mayo’s indigenous plant life.
All welcome!
