Scott Cawley Ltd

Have you seen Ring-neck Parakeets in the wild in Ireland? One of our #TeamScottCawley employees recorded 3 ring-necked parakeets in Ireland last week. They are an invasive species in Ireland native to tropical Africa and the Indian Subcontinent - BirdWatch Ireland is calling for members of the public to log any sightings with the National Biodiversity Data Centre. The Ring-necked Parakeet, aka Rose-ringed Parakeet, has all-green plumage, a long tail and a red beak, and adult males have a rose-colored ring around the neck area. #RingNeckParakeet #InvasiveSpecies Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e6J7Ajkj Report sightings here: https://lnkd.in/ec39rMNi

Our CEO Aebhín Cawley joined the Business For Biodiversity Ireland #ActionTrack members' workshop alongside fellow businesses to learn about assessing our organisation's impacts and dependencies on nature. This helps us to better understand both our business operations and interactions along our extended value chain as we progress our organisation's #NatureStrategy

We have been marking #SeachtainNaGaeilge across the company over the past two weeks with our staff converting their email-sign offs to the Irish-language version. We also held a pop-up Gaeltacht in advance of #StPatricksDay celebrations.   This involved a hotly contested ecology-themed Tráth na gCeist with a lot of new ecological terms picked up by our Irish and international staff alike, and we enjoyed some delicious refreshments as #TeamScottCawley came together to practice their #cúplafocail and learn some new phrases as Gaeilge. #SnaG25 #PaddysDay2025 #Quiz #IrishLanguage #Gaeilge #HappyStPatricksDay

Wildife names in Irish for #SeachtainNaGaeilge - another favourite is the Turnstone known as the 'Piardálaí trá' - the 'beach rummager' - for its constant activity picking out sand hoppers and other invertabrates from the seaweed along our rocky shores. #SnaG25 #IrishBirds This orange-legged wader, a winter visitor from northeast Canada and northern Greenland, was snapped by #TeamScottCawley ecologists on one of our #BirdSurveys 🔭

Happy Seachtain na Gaeilge - another interesting Irish name for a small creature is  ‘An Gráinneog’ - the word for #hedgehog means, rather unfairly, 'little ugly one' 🦔 Many people are surprised to hear that #hedgehogs are not actually native to Ireland, but are believed to have been introduced in the 12th century from Britain or the Continent, possibly by the Normans as a food stuff. The hedgehog is protected under the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000, however it is considered a common, non-native species, and so is not considered a priority for conservation in Ireland. Although declining in Europe, the #IrishHedgehogSurvey is working to study numbers here. Record your sightings: https://lnkd.in/ed8j9pDf #IrishWildlife #ecology #SeachtainnaGaeilge #SnG25

A new, free online course ‘Managing School Grounds for Biodiversity’ for school caretakers & groundskeepers, has been developed by the All Ireland Pollinator Plan in collaboration with the Department of Education — Ireland. The free course is aimed at caretakers, groundskeepers, and those responsible for caring for school grounds. From pesticide alternatives to plant lists, #biodiversity-friendly mowing tips to ideas on getting the school community involved, it's an opportunity for any school wanting to manage their grounds for #nature, no matter size, space, or previous experience. https://lnkd.in/eSwaDewt

With #InternationalWomensDay2025 coming up this weekend on March 8, #TeamScottCawley got together over a coffee break to launch two important new employee policies relating to #WomensHealth.  We launched: - Our #Pregnancy Loss Policy, which introduces up to 10 days' paid leave for women experiencing pregnancy loss up to the 25th week of pregnancy.  - Our #Menopause & #Perimenopause Policy to encourage open dialogue between colleagues on the topic, and offer support for managers and team members to address the issues in a sensitive and caring way, raising awareness of options for accomodations and support. The Scott Cawley Employee Assistance Programme counselling service is also available to our team members 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Spectrum.Life A big #WomensDay shout out to all the brilliant women working in the #ecology and #sustainability field, to all at #ScottCawley and to our colleagues, clients, and the many women in our network and community that we encounter at conferences and grassroots and environmental events, who are working to make a difference for the planet and for fellow women. ✊#WomenInBusiness #EYWinningWomen Going for Growth
