Killarney National Park Education Centre is a non-profit entity operated by Cappanalea OEC in conjunction with National Parks and Wildlife Service The Centre is based in Knockreer House, the last of the Kenmare mansions, which is situated on a hill close to the town and has spectacular views over the National Park. The mission statement of the Centre is "To run educational courses and activities within Killarney National Park that will promote knowledge, understanding, enjoyment and appreciation of the natural environment for all". Our ethos is based very much on a hands-on approach to learning about nature, and it is hoped that through this the participant will become more aware of the value of an unspoilt environment and the need for conservation. We work with groups from all backgrounds and of all ages, including primary schools, post-primary schools, third level institutions, tour groups and youth groups Hostel and camping accommodation is available for the use of groups who are visiting the National Park to avail of services offered by the Education Centre. Our friendly staff are always ready to discuss your requirements with you. Further details of all the services we provide can be obtained by contacting us at: |
