May 23 @ 10:30 am - 2:00 pm
Trip to Tipp, a National Biodiversity Week event in the form of a tour of a Hill farm in Monour, County Tipperary. Eircode: E34R624.
It will take place on Saturday 23rd May from 10.30am.
Monour is a few kilometres south of Tipperary Town. The farm is situated on a low ridge which is essentially an outlier of the Galtee Mountains. The focus of the field visit is the Special Area of Conservation which covers part of the farm. SAC number 002257.
The walk will be led by farm owners and their cousin, the ecologist Dr Mary Tubridy. The principal focus of this field trip is to examine the dry heath and wet heath, habitats which are now being managed under a Farm Management Plan funded by National Parks and Wildlife Service. There will be plenty of time to closely examine the quality of these habitats and discuss the actions which are required to be carried out under the Management Plan.

Please also note that dogs are unfortunately not welcome on this visit due to the time of year and livestock concerns.
