Note this event has changed from 11:00am to 4:00pm

Join Louth Urban Food Sanctuary’s team and Dr. Rory Sheehan of Louth County Council for an enlightening talk and Q&A session on the pressing issue of invasive species in Ireland and across the EU. As climate change accelerates their spread, these pests are increasingly impacting our agricultural output and gardens.

Dr. Sheehan will delve into the specific invasive species threatening our ecosystems, discussing their effects and the challenges they pose. Learn about the strategies being employed to combat these pests and how we can adapt our practices to mitigate their impact.

The Louth Urban Food Sanctuary (LUFS) was launched in October 2023. This innovative project aims to help to mitigate against the increasing challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss and the rising cost of living by empowering Louth’s citizens with the skills to improve sustainability by developing our local food resilience. The project leads, Louth County Council, have partnered with Creative Spark and will be working with local people to develop a community garden.

We are supported by Creative Ireland. Creative Ireland is a culture-based programme designed to promote individual, community and national well-being. The core proposition is that participation in cultural activity drives personal collective creativity, with significant implications for individual and societal well-being and achievement.
