| Spring has arrived, and with it the National Biodiversity Data Centre is pleased to bring you its Spring Summer 2020 Workshop Programme. | |
The delivery of an annual workshop programme is a crucial part of the National Biodiversity Data Centre’s role, that aims to support the recording and citizen science network in Ireland, building on and improving Ireland’s recording base. 2019 was an exceptional year for the Data Centre’s workshops, having registered over 500 participants across 24 workshops in total. That brings the total number of people registered for any of our workshops over the course of 10 years since the very first workshop to over 3,500! | |

It is very humbling to witness the interest shown in our workshops across the country, and ultimately a willingness by people to learn more about Ireland’s natural heritage. A huge thanks is owed to all those who attended and took part in our workshops over the years, and to all those who the Data Centre had the pleasure of working with since the introduction of the very first workshop programme in 2009. In 2020’s Spring Summer workshop programme, we are delighted to be able to partner up with several organisations and recognised experts from the field of ecology and biological recording to bring you 12 workshops to choose from. | |
