Outdoor Living Heritage Museum
Our Outdoor Living Heritage Museum combines some of the actions from the Navan Community Biodiversity Action Plan (CBAP) into an online campaign celebrating Navan’s geological, built, natural and living heritage.
Connecting with nature and with our community is fundamental to our well being. We delve into our town's natural heritage and explore how it sets the scene for our built heritage, celebrating how important both dimensions are for our living heritage.
Navan’s location, buildings, and traditions have for centuries provided habitat, food, and shelter for us and our living heritage: Swifts, trees, and other wildlife. It's always a good time to reconnect the dots and celebrate how heritage, biodiversity, and community are all intertwined.
