Kylemore Abbey Our Initiatives and Developing a Biodiversity Management Plan for the Future
Sustainability with a focus on Biodiversity
“One major achievement has been the partnership with NUI Galway. The University will work with Kylemore to document the current biodiversity profile on the 1,000-acre Kylemore Estate, to identify biodiversity projects and research topics which will benefit not only Kylemore Abbey but the wider community, to develop a Biodiversity Management Plan for Kylemore to preserve and safeguard the biodiversity of the Estate and to provide a location and rich ecosystem in which students will be able to study and learn about species, habitats and wider ecological and sustainability topics with practical applications”
Ballynahinch Castle Going for Gold
Sustainability
“In our walled garden we have three veg plots where we grow everything from peas and potatoes to Pak Choi and sweetcorn, along with the usual cabbages, beetroots and onions, and everyone’s favourite, brussels sprouts”.
