SUMMARY:Coffee\, Cake & Catchments - SpongeWorks Project Launch
DESCRIPTION:Please note that this event has been rescheduled from Tuesday\, 27th January\, due to the significant impacts of Storm Chandra on the Aughrim community. We sincerely thank the community for their resilience and continued partnership. \nIn this regard you are warmly invited to the launch of the SpongeWorks Project in Aughrim —☕ Coffee\, cake and chat provided — come along for an informal\, friendly evening of learning and conversation. \nAn evening of information\, exploring how working with nature (Nature-based Solutions\, NBS) can help us manage water\, protect biodiversity\, and build climate resilience in our local landscapes. \nThe EU Horizon project ‘SpongeWorks’ focuses on helping landscapes act more like a sponge — slowing\, storing and filtering water naturally through soils\, wetlands\, woodlands and river systems. \nThis nature-based approach can reduce flooding\, improve water quality\, support wildlife and create healthier\, more resilient catchments for communities\, farming and nature alike. \nThe evening will explain what the SpongeWorks Project is and why it matters\, and why Wicklow County Council\, East Wicklow Rivers Trust\, Wicklow Uplands Council and LAWPRO all got involved. \nWe will hear from Dr Mary Bourke a lecturer in Geography at Trinity College Dublin\, an engaging expert on Earth (and Planetary) Geomorphology with expertise in extreme environments including flooding. \nAn important part of the evening will be shared insights\, and to discuss how our Aughrim Catchment Community can be involved. \nThis is a relaxed and accessible event open to everyone — landowners\, farmers\, anglers\, community members\, engineers\, environmental enthusiasts\, anyone curious about how nature-based solutions can support both people and place.

SUMMARY:Baltinglass Ring: Uncovering the Archaeology of an Ancient Landscape
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to host Dr Dirk Brandherm of Queens University\, Belfast in a collaborative event brought to you by West Wicklow Historical Society in partnership with Wicklow Uplands Council\, and funded by Wicklow County Council.The focus of the night’s talk is one of the most exciting developments in Irish archaeology in recent years\, emerging from fieldwork at the Brusselstown Ring in County Wicklow.Recent research suggests this remarkable site may represent the largest nucleated prehistoric settlement in Ireland and Britain and Ireland’s earliest proto-town\, predating known Viking urban settlements by more than two millennia.We’ll begin with an accessible overview of the archaeological landscape and findings\, led by Dr Brandherm\, contextualising the significance of the Brusselstow Ring discoveries within broader prehistoric settlement patterns.We hope this evening deepens your appreciation of our local heritage\, enriches understanding across academic and community perspectives\, and inspires further curiosity about our shared past and historical landscape.
