Nature education and scientific communication are more important than ever. I hope to engender a voice for both nature and local communities by providing opportunities for people to learn about wildlife through nature education. Here, I wish to highlight the biodiversity in my local area, and keep people updated on events led by myself or others which focus on public engagement with the natural world.

About Me
My name is Dean. I am an ecologist and conservationist from Newry. I provide opportunities for people to learn about native biodiversity in my local area. I like to use various sources of inspiration from folk traditions, music and the Irish language. My interests in natural history are diverse. Within ecology and conservation science, I focus mainly on botany and entomology. I am particularly interested in oceanic cryptogams (bryophytes, lichens, seaweeds) and plant-pollinator relationships. I spend most of my free time in wooded ravines, grasslands, mountains and the sea. Check out my blog posts to better understand what inspires me in my local area! I am happy to receive correspondence regarding local wildlife and any queries regarding species ID.
Insightful and interesting - Dean's walk & talks are engaging and accessible. If you can, take the opportunity to hear Dean talk about his greatest passion!
