The Avonmore sub-catchment from Space 🤩
Spanning nearly 23,000 hectares and located south of Dublin Wicklow Mountains National Park is the largest of Ireland’s six national parks and the only one in the east. This image, acquired by one of our #Sentinel2 satellites on 5 February 2025, shows its diverse landscape.
Our clinics are a great way for farmers to: 🔘meet us one-to-one 🔘ask questions 🔘discuss their contract offers for our pilot agri-environmental programme. We’re running 20 clinics across our five sub-catchments over the next month. 🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵 #WatersofLIFE
Kilbrin will host the first of our farm-plan clinics. They’re design to help eligible farmers meet us, discuss plans and submit contracts in person. More at: watersoflife.ie/farm-plan-clin…
An update on how we’re working with the (brilliant) RESTORE project. 🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵 watersoflife.ie/waters-of-life…
If you would like to find out more about this project, the team from Bohola Community Park was featured in our Mayo Blue Dots film last year. 🔵 📽️ Watch it here: lawaters.ie/blue-dot-progr… The film was made in association with @MayoCoCo, @EUWatersofLIFE and @LIFEprogramme.
Great progress being made by Bohola Community Park in installing a boardwalk around a pond in their local community in Mayo. 👏 Funded by LAWPRO, the pond filters sediment and nutrients coming from a pitch development before the water enters the local Blue Dot waterbodies. 🔵
