Webinars

It rains so much in Ireland why not slow it down or collect this water before it runs off, down our gutters into storm drains? We set out to find out more about rainwater harvesting, water conservation, permaculture practices and ways to live more sustainably.

We invited local experts in ecology and environmental groups and organisations to tell us a little more about how everything is connected, and about what we can do.

Please join us for a series of talks in the format of two FREE webinars!
