Ireland has a rich natural heritage — from the sandbanks of the Shannon Estuary to the fens of Monaghan… from the natterjack toad to the Atlantic salmon… from the Killarney fern to the freshwater pearl mussel.

Waterworld Mini Beasts Summer Schools

Led by John Feehan

Ferbane, Co. Offaly
Monday 28th June to Friday 2nd July 2010

The plants and animals that catch our eye and hold our attention and admiration most of the time are those that live, like ourselves, on the surface: creatures of the land in other words. But hidden out of sight in aquatic habitats is another world entirely: amazing creatures, most of them small, whose evolution has tailored them for life in the water. We will explore their lives and places of living in this year's Offaly Biodiversity Summer School.'

Cost €100. Bookings with heritage@offalycoco.ie or call 057 934 6839
