Upland Network Co-ordinator with the Heritage Council of Ireland

Description

The underlying vision in this initiative is maintaining upland communities and Ireland’s iconic mountain environs as attractive, vibrant and welcoming places where people live, work and recreate. As well as farm produce, uplands provide immense sources of clean water, significant carbon stores, home to biodiversity, heritage sites and wild natural landscape which provide outstanding recreational and visitor experiences. The Council’s Upland Partnership Network is a partnership initiative comprising national government, local government, upland community, hill-farming, recreational user and ecological and rural NGO actors working together in an integrated manner to ensure the long-term viability of the uplands.
