EN-4: Outreach Materials and Publications

NUIG uses twitter @NUIGsustain to disseminate news on campus sustainability. Sustainability events such as that attached are communicated to students, staff and the wider public using this.

Firstly, there are numerous signs around campus as part of the biodiversity trail , more information at the link: https://www.nuigalway.ie/biodiversitytrail/

There is also signage in places indicating that the area is 'managed for wildlife', as part of our NUI Galway All-Ireland Pollinator Plan, more information at the link: https://www.nuigalway.ie/media/sustainability/NUI-Galway-Pollinator-Plan-2018-2020.pdf. A signage template we use can be seen at: https://pollinators.ie/managed-for-wildlife-signage-templates-now-available/).

An Bialann restaurant as mentioned elsewhere provides healthy and sustainable food options for students, staff and visitors. In this link you can see their waste separation signage which explains segregation to all users in simple terms: https://www.facebook.com/AnBhialannNUIG/posts/2144337275796724

Other features are a sustainability word cloud and SDG posters that are up around campus.

NUI Galway offers many opportunities to connect with nature, including our field research stations in the Burren (Carron & Finavarra) and Connemara (Carna). The main campus in Galway city is also home to a wealth of wildlife and a campus trail has been designed for it. This campus trail is designed to guide walkers through the natural habitats, which are often also used for teaching and research. The first link below explains more, the second link is the campus trail map and the third link is a demonstration video.
