CEF ran 2 workshops on Friday at Blackrock Castle Observatory with children from the nearby Scoil Ursula, facilitated by Jessica Mason. The children explored and learnt about the many benefits that trees provide, using microscopes to examine tree rings and creatively making decorative tree “cookies”.
Afterwards there was a tree planting event at the school, with trees purchased by VM Ware and volunteers from the company assisting with the planting. These trees are the important initial foundation to creating a wildlife hedgerow habitat.
