TCD wildlife pond

Ponds

We have two ponds on Trinity's main campus - one in the Provost's Garden and one in the Steward's Garden.  

wildflower front gate TCD

Front Gate

We replaced the formal lawns at the front gates with a garden incorporating a greater diversity of native plant species.

Bee, bat and bird boxes

These provide vital nesting and roosting spaces for wildlife in an urban environment where natural sites can be limited. 

Flat Iron

The Flat Iron is a hidden gem on campus, functioning like a small pocket woodland.

Pocket Forest

This mini-forest adds soil, plant and animal diversity to our city centre campus and will enable us to study a whole network of Pocket Forests across Dublin

Cricket Pitch

A hidden-in-plain-sight wildlife hotspot right at the heart of campus.
