In late November, we went to the operational advisory group meeting for the source water pilot project getting underway in Co. Monaghan with the Stranooden GWS. The meeting, held at the Ballybay Wetland Centre, was an opportunity for us to learn more about the goals and objectives of the project, hears its aims across the short and long-term, and meet with a wide variety of stakeholders who are helping shape how the project develops.
