Save The Date: River Trusts In Ireland Workshop On 1 July

The River Quoile south of Killyleagh, which is hosting a workshop for Irish river trusts in July

#RiverTrusts - Killyleagh Community Centre in Co Down will host a workshop on 'The Role and Formation of River Trusts in Ireland' on Friday 1 July.

The objectives of this workshop are to bring together existing Irish river trusts and those planning on forming trusts to share experience and advice.

It's also intended to invite the various bodies involved with rivers in Ireland to meet with the participants and provide information and guidance on the roles that they see river trusts could play in protecting and enhancing our dense network of rivers and streams.

Full details of the workshop including times and booking information will be confirmed with the full programme at a later date.
