Biodiversity Week Tour: A Natural History – 100 Years of Biodiversity Discovery in Ireland

A themed tour in celebration of Biodiversity Week and the Centenary of The Irish Naturalists’ Journal

For 100 years the Irish Naturalists’ Journal has been publishing biodiversity records and research from throughout Ireland. From a time of great discovery in the early 20th Century, to a time of threatened species extinctions, the journal has documented some significant changes in Ireland’s biodiversity and landscapes.
Come with us on a tour of the gardens as we learn how our understanding of Ireland’s flora & fauna has changed over the last century. Visiting some of the most important specimens in our herbarium and living collections, we will discover some of Ireland’s rarest plants; chart the spread of prolific invasive species and learn what the future holds for our biodiversity.
