Connecting communities with their catchment.
Empowering schools and communities across Ireland to explore, understand, and protect their local waterways and biodiversity since 1989.
What We Do
Over the years, we have engaged hundreds of schools and community groups, helping them explore and understand their local catchments through interactive projects and insightful publications. Our work continues to inspire a deeper connection with Ireland’s natural heritage and encourage environmental stewardship for future generations.
Education
We bring Ireland’s rivers, streams, and biodiversity to life through immersive environmental education.
Engage Communities
We collaborate with communities across Ireland to design local catchment projects that build awareness, pride, and stewardship of natural assets.
Biodiversity
We create accessible resources and projects that celebrate Ireland’s extraordinary biodiversity and promote its protection.

Who lives in my townland?
This booklet, which features stunning wildlife photography by the County Clare photographer John Murphy (see www.waxwingfilms.ie), introduces the reader to the subject of Biodiversity and then goes on to encourage an active participation in surveying local wildlife and learning how to record these sightings of various species on to the National Biodiversity Database (www.biodiversityireland.ie). This exercise may be done with your school class, your community group, or with members of your family. Welcome to the journey!
