Here's how to get involved in a 'heritage keeper' project in your school or area

It could be a project on local signage or heritage trails or the construction of a wildlife pond...

Students from Oranmore Boys National School’s 6th Class helped to launch ‘Heritage Keepers 2023’. They wrote and illustrated their own book 'Legends of Oranmore' using knowledge gleaned from the local library and stories from local experts

At a time when both our natural and built heritage face so many challenges, a fresh programme to recruit new ‘keepers’ or caretakers of our heritage is always welcome news.

‘Heritage Keepers’ is a free national programme aimed at primary schools, youth groups and communities to help them to work together to explore their local built, natural and cultural heritage and complete a funded action that enhances their local area.
