Surveying Biodiversity - Training events - 11th and 12th and 14th and 15th July 2010
2010 has been designated by the UN as the International Year for Biodiversity. The UN adopted an ambitious target of seriously reducing the rate of loss of biodiversity by 2010. The EU went even further and committed itself to halting the loss of biodiversity by 2010. Louth has played its part in this effort by adopting a five year Local Biodiversity Action Plan (2008-12).

Irish Walled Towns Day (in Ardee, Carlingford and Drogheda), Sunday 22nd August 2010
Heritage Week is an annual celebration of all that is best in Ireland's heritage and covers the whole of the last full week of August (incorporating both weekends). The second last Sunday of August (this year it's the 22nd) is Irish Walled Towns' Day. Planning is underway for events in Louth's three members of the Irish Walled Towns' Network.
In Carlingford eight volunteers will be living for the week in a mediaeval tower house that was last lived in in around 1600. You will be able to follow their lives in the national media. See the link below for more details.
