Dlare McEnaney	Sonairte the National Ecology Centre	Ireland	A sense of place is an important concept in Sonairte and at the heart of Sonairte’s mission.; as an ecology centre the diverse habitats in the grounds of Sonairte provide an ideal and unique environment to raise awareness on important ecological phenomena. The grounds act as an outdoor classroom and laboratory, where we use ecological methods to see the impact of humans on this particular environment. In addition, national and EU policies with regard to the environment and global phenomena such as climate change can often seem remote and abstract to the general public. Presenting them at a more familiar human scale within Sonairte enables better understanding of these important issues.	Complete form
