ℹ️ Stop number 3 on our Wildlife Wall Series Trail is the Lesser Horseshoe Bat (Crú-ialtóg bheag) 🦇 Come with us to find this beauty from St Mary's National School! Located on the wall of the old Island Stores behind its neighbour, the Green Hairstreak Butterfly, you can't miss this eye-catching piece of artwork on Bishop Street!🖌️ This initiative aims to enhance Limerick’s impressive portfolio of street art with high-impact, true-to-life depictions of local wildlife.

Students from Scoil Mháthair Dé celebrated #NationalTreeDay @LimerickCouncil's @limklibraries, Dooradoyle with Willow Weaver Elaine Feely. During the workshop, the students created bird feeders using willow rods. Thank you to the @NPWS for their support.

Happy #NationalTreeDay! Rowan trees are dazzling at the moment with their bright red berries. Also known as Mountain Ash, their blossom is rich in pollen and nectar. One of our best pollinator-friendly native trees.
