As part of this year’s series KCLR installed a recording device on the grounds of a local school.
The unique and exciting project in partnership with the Institute for Climate Sound and Society at Harvard sees the gathering of audio, at locations across the country with participating radio stations, which will be analysed by scientists at Harvard and Copenhagen universities to identify species and to support the study of biodiversity and monitoring of animals and plants in danger of extinction.
Boasting more than 52acres, the campus of Kilkenny College, a day and boarding secondary school, was deemed to be the perfect spot for our audio moth recorder which was installed up a tree in a secluded section of the grounds last June by KCLR Programme and Operations Manager Ken McGuire.
Have a listen to what we found!
