We visited his beautiful log cabin and learned about the flora and fauna present in the different areas of the farm. We also visited the historical Ring Fort and created lovely art using wild flowers as art materials. The day concluded with the Senior Classes planting a tree to commemorate our visit.

Field trip to Cabragh Wetlands Sept ’17

The Cabaragh Wetlands Trust was registered in 1993 in an effort to save a vast area of wetland habitats from destruction after the filling-in of the settling pools by the Thurles Sugar Factory during its closure. These lagoons used to be an oasis of wildlife, particularly birds. The Trust was formed and acquired the land adjacent to the filled-in lagoons to ensure the continuation of this resting place for migratory birds.

The Centre is run by a group of committed volunteers who provide exciting field trips for children and adults of all ages. The Wetlands have no less than 15 different habitats including ponds, reed swamps, hedgerows, streams and wild flower meadows. Footpaths and raised walkways with beautifully illustrated information boards as well as a large bird hide make an ideal place for school children to discover the sights and sounds of nature in a safe and child friendly environment.

Thank you for having us today. A fantastic opportunity to experience these habitats.
