Praeger Committee

 

praeger committee banner

Born in 1865 in Holywood, Co Down, Robert, Lloyd Praeger was an engineer by qualification, a librarian by profession and an naturalist by inclination. It was initially as a geologist and later as a botanist that he made is mark in turn-of-the-century Ireland, yet he is best rembered for his many books and articles extolling the virtues of tramping through the Irish countryside. In a life that spanned eighty years, Praeger influenced many people during the most stirring years in the history of this Island.
