Sometimes because it lies in the shadow of the imposing Kilkenny castle, this Gate Lodge on Canal Square is often overlooked by Kilkenny Residents……but it is well worth a look.
Time to put down some extra roots for us and future generations………..how? By taking part in the “One million trees in one day “project. Planting is to take place in Dukes Meadows and Bishop Meadows. This project has been postponed nationally until the 27th April, we will provide updates on where to meet and times closer to the event. All are welcome, one day of work, years of reward!!!

The Tidy Towns competition is about everyone taking an interest and pride in their own place by not just words but actions. A major part of this is demonstrating what it is we are trying to protect from buildings to wildlife. KKB would like to congratulate 3 CBS students who have designed an amazing website aimed at promoting wildlife to primary and secondary students in a unique and informative way.

Generous sponsorship of Bulbs by Woodies has facilitated the distribution by the KKB of a colorful range of flowering bulbs to primary and secondary Schools and other groups throughout our City and County.
These included St Patrick’s boys school, John of God, St Canice’s, St John’s senior, Kilkenny College, the Model school, the City Vocational School on New street and the SOS on the Callan Rd.
The KKB also cooperates with Tidy town’s committees through out County Kilkenny. Flowering bulbs were distributed by the KKB in January to Goresbridge, Thomastown, Coon, Urlingford and Inistoge Tidy Towns Committees to help give spring and summer colour.
February saw the completion of the first phase of the restoration and biodiversity project taking place at St Maul’s Graveyard. It overlooks the river Nore and has many historic graves. The work of initial cutting and cleaning has been completed. Further work will follow to include improving access. There is an extensive area of trees with good cover for wild life.
