Corporate Citizen
Science Days
Engage your team in real ecological research and contribute directly to Ireland’s largest private rewilding project.
A Day of Discovery and Data
For teams who want to go beyond hands-on conservation and get closer to the science behind rewilding, we offer Citizen Science Days at Dunsany Estate. These unique team experiences combine education, collaboration, and fieldwork giving you the opportunity to gather real biodiversity data that feeds directly into our long-term monitoring and research.
By stepping into the role of “citizen scientists,” your team gains a deeper understanding of rewilding while making a tangible contribution to Ireland’s ecological future.
