What a brilliant tour we got today from the guide at the Office of Public Works Anne's Grove Gardens. A real significant collection of trees and plants. A real national treasure. The Camellias, Magnolias and Rhododendrons looked stunning today. Looking forward to returning soon.

It's #NationalBiodiversityWeek. When you walk through the gates of ucc, you'll know that it's a safe sanctuary for flora and fauna. We thrive to put nature first.

Today marks #BiodiversityDay🌱Our universities share a passion for fostering eco-friendly practices, which is why in ep6 of the recent series #MyUniLife we looked at the work and research being carried out in biodiversity conservation and much more👇 rte.ie/player/series/… #IBD

Great talk this evening by Seán Ronayne in Newmarket at IRD Duhallow on his story to record the call of every bird in Ireland. Keep up the great work.

New garden completed in Askive House, o'Donavans Rd. The vision of Mary C Sheehan. We sat down over a year ago to discuss a plan for the garden. Secured UCC Green Campus living lab fund. Old filing cabinets are used to grow veg. A garden for nature and staff to thrive and relax.

Morus alba, white mulberry tree in fruit at the front of the South Lodge UCC.

UCC'S green campus is full of surprises. Discovered by Head Gardener Jack Murphy last year, and confirmed again in same spot during fieldwork by Green Campus Greenshoots Coordinator Irene Ní Shúilleabháin this year: Nettle-leaved Bellflower. Rare and protected in Ireland.

Wonderful to open the garden sanctuary UCC Green Campus UCC Ireland ! Huge thanks to our colleagues UCC Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences UCC Sociology & Criminology ! Creating a ‘hares corner’ for reflection and enquiry & learning!

The meadow and no mow areas have all been cut. The cut material is left for 4 to 7 days for the seeds to drop. We are now in the process of raking off and removing all the cut material. This helps in reducing the fertility of the soil and an increase in diversity next year 🤞

A great day spent with students at Scoil Naomh Pádraig Kanturk for their biodiversity day.
