Guided Woodland Wander with a focus on Invertebrates with Aaron Gallagher (Native Woodland Trust) and Neil Mahon. Free and family friendly
Join the Native Woodland Trust on a Biodiversity Walk around the stunning Bevans’ Wood in Humphreystown.
Join us as we celebrate National Biodiversity Week with a walk through our own Bevans’ Wood reserve. We are delighted to be joined by Neil Mahon, PhD candidate from the Department of Zoology at the University of Cambridge. With him we will take a walk through the site, learning about some of the invertebrates that call Bevans’ Wood home. We will also take in some other sights and sounds while walking through our site, including wildflowers that will be in bloom and some of the veteran trees that grow in our site.
We will be meeting at the Poulaphouca Lake Parking at 10 am on Saturday the 16th of May 2026 (Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/wxvjAwS4cVxcoBwt5 ).
All ages are welcome but please note, we will be walking on uneven ground and as such this is not suitable for buggies. Anyone under the age of 18 will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
What to bring:
- Warm and waterproof clothing in layers

After the walk, will be providing tea, coffee and biscuits. If you have a reusable coffee/tea cup, please bring this along to minimize waste on the day.
