Dive into Nature with StreamScapes this Heritage Week!

We’re thrilled to invite you to a week of wild, watery wonder as part of National Heritage Week 2025! This year, StreamScapes is hosting a series of inspiring, interactive events that celebrate the rich biodiversity and cultural heritage of Ireland’s rivers, streams, and wetlands. Whether you’re getting your hands wet in a workshop, joining an online talk, or helping bring salmon stories to life through art, there’s something here for everyone.

Here’s what’s on:

Salmon Celebration

Monday 18th August | 2:00 – 6:00 PM | StreamSchool, Coomhola, P75 TY47
Join us for a joyful, free participatory art event that follows the epic journey of the salmon through a series of creative stations. From freshwater beginnings to ocean voyages, you’ll explore the salmon life cycle in fun, hands-on ways. Expect art, nature, music and some live music! No tickets necessary, the event is open to all.

Aquatic Invertebrates & Dragonflies Online Talk

Tuesday 19th August | 12:00 – 2:00pm | Free via Zoom
Discover the secret lives of aquatic invertebrates and how these often-overlooked species tell us vital information about our water quality. Entomologist and wildlife photographer Julia Cooper will also take us on a virtual dragonfly safari, introducing some of the stunning dragonflies and damselflies found across Ireland’s wetlands.
