Native Woodlands and Biodiversity - with Jim Lawlor

The Irish Environmental Network (IEN) is an umbrella network of 34 national environmental NGOs. Our member groups carry out vital conservation, education, research, advocacy and campaigning work to restore, protect and enhance our natural environment. Their work is more vital now than it ever was before, as we are facing dual climate and biodiversity emergencies. We have no more time to waste.

As the Citizens’ Assembly on Biodiversity Loss meets this Autumn, we are bringing people together through a series of lunchtime webinars to hear from the experts on what is causing biodiversity loss, what is being done to address the crisis and what we can do as individuals and communities to get more involved.

The webinar series continues with ‘Native Woodlands and Biodiversity’ with Jim Lawlor.

See the full schedule of our autumn biodiversity webinar series below.
