Big Hello in Kilkenny on the river Nore walks

Community in action, the big Hello  with KKB highlighting the wonderful riverside walks in Kilkenny, a great day was had at Riverside /entrance to the riverside Nore walk.  The event was sweetened by great cakes from Cakeface cafe, and washed down with tea, coffee and chat.  KKB reuseable cups were also showcased.  All the  faithful dogs being walked  were not forgotten about  with treats also  being enjoyed.   The message   is to protect the environment,  Keep Kilkenny Beautiful and collect after your dog.

Great spotted woodpecker in Kilkenny City

Congratulations to Birdwatch Ireland,  there has been a confirmed  sighting of the Great spotted woodpecker to the western side of Kilkenny City. This is great news for our City.  Extensive work has been undertaken over many years to improve and extend tree cover and woodland  in Kilkenny. This is creating a habitat suitable for the wood pecker.
