Red, Yellow, Green, Goooo

The Eco & Wildlife group kicks in again this Tuesday 6th October, and every Tuesday thereafter. It’s after school from 3:30 – 4:30pm meeting in Derek Bailey’s room. We have a range of activities planned over the year including the usual tree and bulb planting, bird box building, construction of our mini-beast hotel, environmentally theme movies such as Al Gore’s ‘Inconvenient Truth’ and ‘The 11th Hour’ narrated by Leonardo Di Caprio (he is in it for a bit, ladies), fair-trade chocolate tasting and other fair trade events as well as representatives from the Green party speaking in politics on issues such as human rights.

All of which go towards our effort for the Green Flag.

Go Nuts for Free

‘Red squirrel day at Tollymore Park’ Sunday 4th October from noon to 5pm.
It's National Red Squirrel week and as part of the Tollymore Squirrel Group’s and the Mourne Heritage Trust’s efforts to promote the conservation work undertaken in the park to conserve the threatened species Tollymore Park has laid on a wide range of activities in celebration. The day will give families an opportunity to take part in a fun filled day of activities including craft activities, mask making, and help in making a giant squirrel as well as two guided walks of squirrel woodland habitat (max 30 people) which take place at 2PM. Registration for the walks takes place at the Rangers Hut in Tollymore Park which is open from 10AM. People are asked to meet at the lower car park. Oh aye, it’s FREE!!!!

Boxes Go Leor

After claiming all the computer equipment for our Tesco vouchers, there were some left over. We used them up by claiming lots of eco products, such as bird boxes, insect hotels etc. They have all come in kit form. Any eco warriors ready to help assemble them, please see Stephen Hanna or leave your name with Ellen McVea

It's Gone

The composting toilet that is. It has gone off to Haughian House to be installed. Thanks a million to Pat Lenny and Martin McParland. Update soon.

It's come

Our composting toilet for Haughian House that is. If you spotted the 'Made in Canada' box in the front hall, that was it. It will be on its way to the Head Road very soon to be installed, and then HH will be open for business and we can start planning trips.
