Picker Pals
The New Dublin Bay Biosphere Award
The Dublin Bay Biosphere Award has been developed in partnership with Scouting Ireland and is a three-part programme which challenges young people to use your senses to connect with nature and take action to protect our UNESCO designated biosphere.
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown have partnered with Picker Pals again this year to provide workshops to primary schools in dlr working on reducing litter and waste in their school.
Picker Pals is an environmental education programme for primary schools. Through stories, songs and an educational picker pack, Picker Pals provides children and their families with an opportunity to engage in a variety of environmental actions, particularly litter picking. The programme is operated by VOICE Ireland. If you know, or work within, a primary school that may be interested in this programme, please ask the school to email envaware@dlrcoco.ie.
The award is open to any young person, scout or non-scout. To get started check out the Dublin Bay Biosphere Award webpage. Here, you will find lots of resources and videos about exploration, trees, bees, water and much more!
