Help Record Wicklow's coast

Help record Wicklow’s coast! The 2017 All Ireland Coastwatch Ireland survey period runs from September 15th to October 15th. No expertise is needed just an interest in the outdoors and a commitment to walking your pre-registered 500m of coast and filling in a questionnaire to record your observations as you go! An ideal activity for schools, clubs, dog walkers and beach combers and a great way to do your bit for conservation.
