Ireland’s Wildlife CSI Weekend
In September, wildlife crime fighters from all over Ireland will converge on County Meath. The Pillo Hotel in Ashbourne is the venue for the 2015 All-Ireland Wildlife Crime Conference organised and hosted by Wildlife Rehabilitation Ireland.
This conference draws participants from all areas of the wildlife protection sector in Ireland, including police, government agencies, NGOs and other voluntary organisations. It is a two day event that will bring together a diverse audience for a weekend of talks and practical sessions, with the intention of facilitating effective working relationships between the law enforcement bodies, charities, NGOs and the public in general.
Many of the invited speakers are individuals at the forefront of fighting wildlife crime in these islands. Topics will include: poisoning, poaching, illegal traps and snares as well as first-hand accounts of tackling wildlife crime. To complement the talks, practical sessions will take place to give a more ‘hands-on’ experience for conference-goers.

General public registration - €100 for two days conference attendance. Concessionary and professional rates also apply.
