Kingfisher Project

Since it was founded in 2022 the Kingfisher Project has set about repurposing and transforming public lands at Blarney Park Allotments, on the banks of the River Poddle at Kimmage, into a community knowledge, awareness and educational resource. The purpose of this work has been to address the Community’s relationship with the natural world and to build community capacity and resilience to cope with the consequences of human induced climate change and biodiversity loss.

The Kingfisher Project, therefore, acts as a catalyst for attitudinal, behavioural and consumption pattern change, which centres on enriching individual households and the urban environment through knowledge, awareness and interaction with nature and the community action which this inspires.
