SUMMARY:Species-rich grassland in south Roscommon and the threat of Cotoneaster
DESCRIPTION:Learn about species-rich grassland in south Roscommon and the invasive species which threaten them.\n\nA talk by botanist Phoebe O’Brien is followed by an optional walk. \nAn illustrated morning talk at Taughmaconnell community centre focusing on the fantastic grasslands\, and species-rich eskers of Castlesampson and surrounding areas. You’ll learn why these grasslands are of national importance and about the rare species which live in them.

SUMMARY:Workshop: Asian Hornet Talk and Identification Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join Ann Haigh\, Invasive Species Officer at the National Biodiversity Data Centre\, for an engaging and hands‑on Asian Hornet Talk and Identification Workshop that will give you the confidence to spot and report this high‑risk invasive insect. \nWith Ireland’s freedom from Asian hornet depending entirely on early detection\, learning how to recognise it and\, just as importantly\, how to rule out common look‑alikes has never been more vital. Native to Southeast Asia\, the Asian hornet has spread across continental Europe and poses significant ecological risk. This invasive species preys on native pollinators\, and its nests can devastate honeybee populations. Management efforts have so far prevented its establishment\, making ongoing public reporting and early detection particularly crucial \nThis session features a short lively talk\, clear identification tips\, real specimens\, and a fun quiz to help demystify hornets\, wasps\, bees\, and flies. Ample time will be provided for questions and practical advice on photographing insects with your phone. Weather permitting\, you will also have the chance to head outside to put your new skills into practice. \nYou will leave knowing exactly what to look for\, how to report a sighting\, and how you can help keep Ireland free of Asian hornet. \nImage credit: John De Carteret\, JAHG \n\nRegister at link below.
