ECO Appeal: Education in the Community

Help BirdWatch Ireland to raise funds for its lifelong learning programme.  We hope to raise €55,000 for our ECO educational project, which will allow us to:

• Coordinate and promote a Wildlife Outreach Programme with schools and community groups;
• Organise a programme of Discovery Days targeted to junior and family members on our nature reserves;
• Design and deliver courses and workshops about birds and biodiversity for beginners, learners and improvers of all ages;
• Design new online resourses for schools and families on our website;
• Continue to expand our Bird Detectives magazine, aimed at 7 to 12 year-old children and primary schools;
• Extend our educational and lifelong learning work in partnership with key stakeholders such as the Heritage Council, the National Parks and Wildlife Service, Dublin Zoo and the Natural History Museum, amongst others;
• Pursue potential funding sources to allow us to provide a sustainable education programme into the future.

Please donate what you can today to our ECO Appeal and help us to carry out vital education work and provide a better future for our children, our communities and our environment.
