On Friday 16th September, third year Geography class along with their teacher, Mr. Mullen completed a Habitat Survey of the school grounds. The class was split into 5 groups and walked the school grounds twice and mapped out specific areas of biodiversity. They used plant identification books to establish the various species as well as pooters and insect nets to trap insects for identification purposes.

Each group will submit a completed Survey and there is a prize for the best one which will be displayed on the Green School’s noticeboard. This project is part of our ongoing work to achieve our 5th Green Flag for Biodiversity, which will be judged by March  2016. A number of other initiatives are ongoing throughout the school by the other Coordinators, Ms. Cooney and MS. Colum. Below are some pics. of the event.
