Ireland is experiencing biodiversity loss at rates never experienced before. Plants, insects, birds and mammals are increasingly threatened as a result of destructive human activities. Academics from the Froebel Department of Primary and Early Childhood Education responded to a need identified by Maynooth Green Campus (a Maynooth campus/community strategic coalition that seeks to promote environmental sustainability and climate justice). The partnership worked to increase community awareness of biodiversity and encourage more interaction between Maynooth residents, students and staff and the natural environment. In 2020, final-year Froebel BEd and PME students partnered with Maynooth Green Campus and Kildare County Council to enhance biodiversity through a rooftop garden and the creation of the Tairseach Tree Trail for the wider Maynooth community. Students explored climate action through sustainable materials, waste valorisation, water conservation, and biodiversity initiatives, producing educational resources including GIS mapping, trail guides, and food-growing materials shared during National Biodiversity Week. The project led to a strategic alliance between the Froebel Department and Maynooth Green Campus, strengthening community engagement, ecoliteracy, and climate justice education through a HEA Future Ready–funded Project Live partnership.
