Join Aengus Kennedy from

along to Frog CIC for a peek at what’s going on under
the water, and get spotting wildflowers, trees and bugs
with Annie Mullan from Butterlope Farm.
Looking ahead to the event, Mayor of Derry City and
Strabane District Council, Councillor Lilian Seenoi Barr
said: “We are blessed with so many areas of natural
beauty around us and Inch Island is just teeming with
fascinating wildlife. This event is an opportunity to
find out more about the plants and animals that share
our landscape and how we can work to protect them and
help them to thrive."
From 12 noon to 3pm visitors can take part in a fun
biodiversity trail along part of the 8km loop of the
island, with a chance to explore and pick up some wild
prizes. And there will be a free goody bag for the first

adventure begins at Farland Car Park and visitors can
drop in at any time from 12 noon.
