10 years of Inishowen Rivers Trust
On 8th April 2014 a meeting was held in Moville, Co. Donegal, at Moville Celtic Clubhouse, to learn more about what Rivers Trusts are and to investigate, as a community, if forming a trust for the Bredagh River would be in the interests of the community – and the river! The meeting was jointly organised by the Celebrate Water and Moville Tidy Towns. Mark Horton, the Rivers Trust Development Officer for Northern Ireland and Manager Ballinderry Rivers Trust in Cookstown, Co. Tyrone, was invited along as Guest Speaker to explain about the work of The Rivers Trust and Rivers Trusts across Great Britain and Ireland.
Over 35 people came along to hear the talks from all over Inishowen - Buncrana, Clonmany, Culdaff, Quigley's Point, Greencastle and many locals from Moville.
The talks were followed by a workshop designed to encourage thought and discussion around our Vision for the future of the Bredagh River and a Rivers Trust; and then to investigate further what needs to happen next and who needs to be involved.
We have come a long way since then, with many more adventures to come. Thanks to our funders, our volunteers and donors and to everyone who has contributed to Inishowen Rivers Trust in any way. Have a look at the video to see what we have been up to this last 10 years
