Kilteevan is home to a wide variety of beautiful wild flowers. Plants are the cornerstone of our biodiversity the foundation on which all wildlife depends.

Green plants remove carbon dioxide and release oxygen into the atmosphere, which helps keep the environment healthy and fit for human life. Different species of plants, animals, fungi and micro-organisms provide us with food, medicines, fuel, building materials, fibre for clothing and industrial products.

A number of people in the community have expressed an interest in getting to know our wild flowers better so from time to time we will include information in this section of our website.
