_____________________________________________________________________________________
World Wetlands Day is a global event celebrating the importance of wetlands. This year’s theme is “Protecting Wetlands for Our Common Future.” To mark this event, you are invited to celebrate local wetlands in North and West Clare with the Restore Ballymacraven River Association (RBRA). This practical community event will focus on exploring the importance of wetlands and will include a ‘Walk and Talk’, a river clean-up and tree planting in association with Hometree, along the Ballymacraven River. The field element will be followed by a networking event with tea / coffee and scones in the Falls Hotel. The event will explore how wetlands, like the Inagh Estuary and the Ballymacraven River, help sustain biodiversity and help address climate change. It will also focus on how we can work in practical ways to protect wetland sites for our common future: supporting ecosystem and human wellbeing. This is a family friendly World Wetlands Day event and is supported by the Local Authority Waters Programme (LAWPRO).
Please bring appropriate footwear and clothing and if you wish to partake in the river clean-up or tree planting, please bring gloves, heavy duty bags, and a spade. All of these will also be provided.
