Find out more about the twentieth century development of the UCD Belfield campus, as well as ongoing tree research, with Dr Ellen Rowley (UCD School of Architecture, Planning and Environmental Policy).

Part of our series of spring weekly campus walks each Wednesday from 1-2pm from 16 April to 21 May. Our next walks will focus on managing the campus for biodiversity, and bees and other pollinators.

Each spring, the Earth Institute hosts a series of lunchtime Belfield walks led by members of the Institute community which explore the campus from different perspectives and highlight current research.
