Offaly group to hold second climate café event this month

Offaly Climate and Biodiversity Action Group will be holding its second 'climate café' on Tuesday November 25, at 7.30pm, in The Old Bank Building, Clara.

The first event was well-attended in Tullamore in August. This climate café is being organised in collaboration with Clara Heritage Society and Clara Tidy Towns.

The climate café is free to attend and will be "a relaxed and inclusive space" where people can have a chat over a cup of tea.

"The conversations will be wide-ranging. A positive focus will be placed on what we can do to get involved in climate action locally," said the group.

"We can all take action individually, but together we can achieve and inspire more collective climate action."

Recently 14 members of the group joined Tullamore Tidy Towns to help with their ongoing bulb-planting project.

There was great work done by the members of both groups to make Clonminch more colourful and help provide early food for pollinators in spring.

The Offaly Climate and Biodiversity Action Group said it looks forward to holding more events around the county throughout 2026. The group plans to organise events independently and through collaborating with groups to promote nature and sustainability.

Offaly Climate and Biodiversity Action Group is calling on all nature enthusiasts and people who wish to promote climate action to get involved by finding the group on Facebook or contacting: offalyclimateandbio@outlook.com
