Our Limestone Landscapes

10 June 2008

To coincide with Planet Earth Week and the start of European Geoparks Week, an exhibition promoting Ireland’s Limestone Landscapes has been launched at Castle Archdale Country Park Museum by UTV presenter Frank Mitchell.

The exhibition has been developed to promote the value of our visually stunning limestone landscapes. This rare habitat, formed over millennia, supports a unique mix of flora and fauna. The striking images and information on display in the exhibition aims to raise awareness of the threats to this habitat and the need for conservation of its biodiversity.

The exhibition is a joint project between the Environment and Heritage Service, National Parks and Wildlife Service and the Irish Wildlife Trust and arises from work with the UK and Ireland Limestone Pavement Biodiversity Group.

EHS Castle Archdale will host the exhibition from 23rd May
