We're making this the year we help more people learn about and enjoy Ireland's nature.

Now is the time to start planning your events. Details of grants will be out in May.

The Heritage Council have produced the 100 Event Ideas Booklet (also available as Gaeilge) to help in planning events for the week.

National Heritage Week will shine a spotlight on the challenges to our natural environment but also highlight the small changes that we can all make towards conserving it. During National Heritage Week everyone is encouraged to get involved and make a difference.

Contact Bridget Loughlin, County Heritage Officer, for help with your Heritage Week planning and promotion.
