The Irish Government is currently considering the sale of our public forests to private investors. The harvesting rights of more than 1 million acres will be lost for several generations and access to our forests could be severely limited. Our forests are a refuge for flora, fauna and humans alike. They belong to the citizens of Ireland and the future generations of this state.

Join us in a Woodland celebration walk in Jenkinstown Woods on June 9th to let our Government know that our natural heritage is not for sale. Our walk will be in solidarity with several other similar walks in forests throughout Ireland on the same day.

We will have a guided nature walk on the day lead by Wildlife Ranger Jimmy Conroy, some live music, face painting and art activities for the kids and end the day with a big picnic under the trees (please bring your own picnic)!!

This walk is being organised by Future Proof Kilkenny. If you want to get involved or would like further information, please email info@futureproofkilkenny.org or contact Mick Greene on 085-1668149 / Paul Brennan on 087-7682912

Where: Jenkinstown Wood, Co. Kilkenny
