Biodiversity Week 2025 got off to a great start in Monaghan in recent days.
The much-anticipated Flora of Monaghan book was launched at the Four Seasons Hotel.
Authored by botanist and ecologist Alexis FitzGerald, the book is the culmination of nearly a decade of research and fieldwork. The book catalogs over 1,200 plant species native to the county of Monaghan.
This book marks a significant milestone in the county's natural heritage documentation. A packed room of attendees included local residents, nature enthusiasts, and members of the scientific community, all celebrated this comprehensive record of Monaghan's botanical landscape.
The publication not only serves as an invaluable resource for researchers and conservationists but also fosters greater public appreciation for the county's rich biodiversity.
