This Monday the 29th of September, BannerGleo, in conjunction with the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group, are running a free event in Byrnes Restaurant (Main Street, Ennisytmon) from 7-9pm, to launch their Community Biodiversity Action Plan for Liscannor Bay.
This plan (kindly funded by Community Foundation Ireland) suggests a blueprint for how the local community can get involved to protect and maintain this fantastic natural amenity, now and into the future.
This enjoyable event will include short talks by BannerGleo, the IWDG (and friends) covering recent projects and activities and offer an opportunity to discuss next steps in support of a thriving, inclusive and ecologically vibrant Liscannor Bay.
Light refreshments will be provided after the event and there is free parking throughout Ennistymon. As there are limited spaces please register on Eventbrite by searching BannerGleo Showcase and book your tickets here.
BannerGleo is a coastal community association working to support the natural capital and ecological integrity of Liscannor Bay by engaging with visitors and local stakeholders, delivering educational events and activities and completing scientific research and surveys.
Community Foundation Ireland, its donors and supporters are on a mission of Equality For All In Thriving Communities. As a philanthropic hub it works with 5,000 voluntary, community and charitable partners. Since 2000 the Foundation has provided grants of over €130 Million to support its equality mission.
The Irish Whale and Dolphin Group (IWDG) was founded in 1990 to establish an All-Ireland sighting and stranding scheme and to campaign for the declaration of Irish territorial waters as a whale and dolphin sanctuary. Since then, the group has grown in numbers to become what it is today, a diverse group of people from varying backgrounds with one thing in common, a passion for whales and dolphins and the marine environment.
