Great Work in St. Johns Junior School. KKB arrived with a group of volunteers to assist with the tree planting on Saturday morning. However the school under the guidance of the caretaker Peter Novak had already successfully planted all but one. Some older trees still need to be removed and KKB has offered to return and assist with future tree planting once these have been taken out to help . Brilliant work St. Johns!

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.

KKB congratulates CBS students on their Website
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.
