Resilience Project for Rivers Trusts

The Resilience Project provides funding to two rivers trusts, Inishowen Rivers Trust and Maigue Rivers Trust (Limerick), to each employ a project officer for a period of three years. Funding is provided by LAWPRO to The Rivers Trust to oversee and administer the project.

This project will aim to demonstrate the effectiveness of professionalizing the rivers trust movement in Ireland in terms of delivering on the core objectives of the Inishowen Rivers Trust.

Local Authority Waters Programme (LAWPRO)

The Local Authority Waters Programme (LAWPRO) is working to identify the issues affecting water quality in Ireland. Where LAWPRO identifies issues, we collaborate with the relevant local authority, public body, and stakeholder to find a solution. Community engagement is the cornerstone of this approach to combine local and expert knowledge for a better understanding of what’s happening in a local catchment and waterbody. Good water quality benefits everybody, it is essential for nature to flourish and our economy to thrive.

LAWPRO Community Meetings

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and public health advice restricting physical gatherings LAWPRO is facilitating Community Information Meetings via Zoom. These online meetings will inform local communities of what is happening in their local catchments and provide opportunities for questions and answers.
