Laois PPN welcomed Laois PPN Member Groups to the beautiful grounds of Roundwood House in the Slieve Bloom Mountains for a ‘Fall Foraging’ event on Sunday 22 September, the Autumn Equinox. 

The family friendly event was organised as part of Laois PPN’s Climate Action Project 2024. The event was led by Mary Bulfin, aka 'Wild Food Mary', where she shared her wealth of knowledge about all things foraging. 

Dan Bergin, Laois PPN Co-Ordinator said: "Thanks to Mary for sharing her knowledge with PPN Member Groups on our 'Fall Forage', thank you to all our Laois PPN Members for attending. The Autumn months are idyllic for foraging with the woodland abundant with wild food to harvest. PPN Members were delighted to learn from one of the leading foraging experts in Ireland on how to identify plants, their health benefits and how to preserve them to enjoy later in the year."

As well as this, the Laois Hospice Foundation was presented with a cheque at Treacy's, The Heath. Chairperson of Laois Hospice, Mary Delaney accepted a cheque for €500 from John Lalor and James Kelly representing I.V.E.T.A.
