This event is organised by Monaghan County Council’s Biodiversity Officer to celebrate World Wetlands Day. The event will see the launch of new wetland guidelines aimed at community groups and landowners called ‘Community Action: A Beginner’s Guide to Wetlands’ . This booklet was developed in conjunction with the Community Wetlands Forum, Clare County Council and Monaghan County Council. It is aimed at community groups and landowners to encourage the promotion of wetlands in their local area, or to help those who wish to embark on a wetland conservation project.
Speakers will include Dr Patricia McCreesh Biodiversity Officer with Monaghan County Council and Eoghan Connaughton of LAWPRO. This event is aimed at communities and landowners undertaking biodiversity actions on wetlands in their locality and as an educational resource.
