"People, Heritage and Climate" - Local Authority Heritage Officer Webinar, February 17th, 2022

"Real success can only come if there is a change in our societies and in our economics and in our politics."
David Attenborough.
Local Authorities work with communities, landowners and politicians to create improved understanding and engagement with our places through the lenses of heritage and biodiversity. A sense of rootedness in a community helps stabilise society and allows actions to be taken for the common good.
Our webinar chair was Sean McKeown, Director of Services, Kilkenny County Council. We were delighted also to be joined by Virginia Teehan Chief Executive of the Heritage Council to sum up the webinar series,
