Happy Birthday to us! We've accomplished a lot since our inception in 2018, none of which would have been possible without our incredible network of Ambassadors, our dedicated team (many of whom are volunteers), our funders and our wonderful followers! Thank you for your support!

RIP Michael Viney, one of Ireland's great naturalists & a patron of Burrenbeo. We are grateful for the immense legacy of his writings & illustrations on our natural heritage, and for bringing the wonder of the natural world to so many of us. Pic: #Burren Burnet rose by M. Viney.

Smiles all around after a beautiful summer evening spent harvesting #Burren yellow rattle seed for local distribution and carrying out maintenance work on our Burren pine project sites. Nothing we do would be possible without our wonderful Burrenbeo Conservation volunteers !
