Sonairte - the National Ecology Centre

Sonairte was established as an environmental charity in 1988. Our charitable purpose as laid out in our founding
documents is:
- to provide education in all aspects of ecology
- to promote sustainable living through learning and cooperation
- to promote sustainable development
- to promote organic, ecological and sustainable farming practices
- to promote environmental awareness and nature conservation
- to promote appropriate and sustainable technologies
- to promote the use of genuinely renewable resources
- to promote intercultural exchange
- to promote reconciliation
- to promote fair trade

 We run a visitor Eco Centre in Laytown county Meath that embodies these purposes though our day to day work (www.sonairte.ie). Our Vision is to be community hub, enabling people to live more sustainably to address the twin environmental crises the world currently faces - the climate crisis and the biodiversity crisis. We are open to the public Fridays to Sundays.
