Celebrating Traditional Skills, Nature and Community

Roscommon County Council's Biodiversity Office recently hosted a successful Meitheal Traditional Skills Event in Loughnaneane Park, Roscommon, bringing together community members of all ages to celebrate nature, heritage and sustainability.

Visitors enjoyed demonstrations of traditional skills, including scything for green space management  by Neil Foulkes and  weaving with rushes  and  straw by Steffi Otto.

Supported by the Climate Action Team and delivered in collaboration with the Healthy Ireland Team, the event also provided opportunities for visitors to learn more about biodiversity, sustainability and community wellbeing.

The event was a wonderful celebration of community spirit, showcasing how traditional skills can play an important role in building a more sustainable future.
