Biodiversity in Schools

At the Laois Education Centre on the Block Road in Portlaoise, we have a biodiversity demonstration garden. This garden highlights different types of habitats that can be replicated in schools, serving as a valuable hands-on teaching resource for educators.

Together for Climate Action

Learn how Laois County Council is taking a leadership role on climate action – working to reach its own climate targets while helping the wider county to do the same.

Resource Kit for Schools

The resource kit is a series of four lesson plans with an associated video series. The lesson plans are suitable for primary schools (2nd to 6th class).
