Environmental Education Course - South Kerry

SKDP is seeking an experienced environmental education provider to develop and deliver a three-module environmental training course for public participation in South Kerry. The course will address climate change capacity building and support communities to take meaningful local action for environmental protection and habitat resilience. The three modules are: (1) Seed Saving, Pollinators and Meadow Management; (2) Tree Planting and Long-Term Management; and (3) Invasive Species Identification and Management. Each module can be taken independently, allowing flexible participation. This initiative aligns with the 2023-2027 LEADER programme objectives on Sustainable Development and Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation. A public survey of 49 respondents identified environmental education as a priority for Kerry communities, particularly to address knowledge gaps about climate science and local impacts. The course should be practical, informative, and tailored to support local environmental action in areas critical to Kerry's tourism-dependent economy and biodiversity protection.
