We are delighted to start this new project that allows us to observe and track the flora and fauna of Greystones over the seasons. We will highlight what is coming into bloom and what pollinators or migratory species we as a community are observing. Whenever possible we will note if something is common, rare, invasive, or endangered.
Either submit your pictures to us via email or post them to our Facebook page or Facebook Messenger account.
