SUMMARY:ESK MOUNTAIN VOLUNTEER DAY
DESCRIPTION:To mark National Biodiversity Week –  we’re running our first volunteer day of 2026 on Sunday 24th May!  Some weeks ago we launched a ‘Sponsor a Stake’ Campaign giving people a chance to sponsor a stake & help us secure the boundary of this 270 acre nature restoration project. We now need help getting our next batch of sponsored posts up onto the mountain as our fence line is only accessible by foot.  There’s also the task of hammering the posts into the ground & afixing the sponsor name tags. \nSo if you’d like a guided hike around the boundary line of Esk Mountain installing a fencing stake or two followed by a 2-course fireside dinner to end the day to say thank you! \n> Take a stake for a walk & help secure the boundary of Esk Mountain \n> Learn about the nature restoration work on site & the wider ecology of the Irish landscape \n> Enjoy a hike with spectacular 360 deg views of the Caha Mountains as well as Bantry Bay & the Kerry Mountains \n> Meet our small herd of Dexter cattle & learn about the virtual grazing system we use. \n> Dinner will include a hearty savoury dish\, dessert & drinks

Those on the photographic cyanotype workshop an collect samples. The workshop must be booked through Eventbrite as places are limited and aged over 14 years. At 3pm the cyanotype workshop  will begin with Visual Artist Sarah Louise Lordan. Photographic cyanotypes were first used in the early 19th century by botanist Anna Atkins. Anna merged scientific accuracy and artistic beauty in pioneering photograms that documented botanical specimens.  She self published the first book of photographic illustrations of algae.  Attendees will use photograms\, the technique of creating photographic prints without a camera is as old as photography itself.  This is a free unique event please book on Eventbrite. Over 14 years. This workshop will document the significance of this urban green space\, the plant species present and pay homage to our benefactor Kathleen Goodfellow and her artist friend Estella Solomons.https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/celebrate-national-biodiversity-week-photographic-cyanotype-workshop-tickets-1986991049718?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=attendeeshare&utm-medium=discovery&utm-term=listing&utm-source=cp&aff=ebdsshcopyurl \nThe Grove is located at the corner of Morehampton road and Wellington Place\, Donnybrook\, Dublin 4.
