Acres CP school Visit
ACRES is Ireland's new agri-environment climate scheme under Ireland's CAP Strategic Plan. This new agri-environment scheme is a farmer-friendly scheme to help address biodiversity decline while delivering an income support for up to 50,000 farm families in Ireland. Many thanks to Project Officers Shane and Keith who visited the school on Monday 13th February to present a workshop on ‘How we can support Biodiversity’ to the senior classes.
ACRES Visit
On Monday 12th of February 4th, 5th & 6th classes had a visit from Keith & Shane from Acres (Agri-Climate Rural Environment Scheme). Shane spoke to us about Biodiversity, and he also taught us how we can help wildlife by putting up birdfeeders and not cutting the hedgerows down. There were bird activity sheets, word search and habitat colouring sheets as well as lots of learning about biodiversity, wildlife and the different habitats of birds and animals. We also played a good web game that we all really enjoyed. I hope that Acres will come back next year!

Keith and Shane from Acres came to visit 4th 5th & 6th classes to tell us a little bit about biodiversity and nature. First, they told us what biodiversity is. Then they told us what ACRES does to help people and animals. ACRES tries to get farmers to work with them to protect nature and wildlife. After the presentation we went outside and played the ‘animal game’. It was very enjoyable.
