New biodiversity course for school caretakers and groundskeepers

Louth County Council is delighted to share details of a new, free online course for school caretakers and groundskeepers, called Managing School Grounds for Biodiversity.

Developed by the All-Ireland Pollinator Plan, in collaboration with the Department of Education, the free course is aimed at caretakers, groundskeepers, and those responsible for caring for school grounds.

From pesticide alternatives to plant lists, biodiversity-friendly mowing tips to ideas on getting the school community involved, this is an opportunity for any school wanting to manage their grounds for nature, no matter the size, space, or previous experience.
