This marks the very first competition of its kind from Emerald Park and presents an exciting opportunity for schools across Carlow to secure a memorable end-of-year celebration for their pupils.

From exploring the park’s fully accredited zoo home to more than 250 animals to discovering immersive habitats like Lemur Woods to majestic leopards, pupils can connect with wildlife in a hands-on, engaging way. Budding conservationists can learn about biodiversity and animal behaviour, all outside the classroom walls.
