Carrick-on-Shannon is the designated ‘Decarbonisation’Zone (DZ) for County Leitrim. Its vision is that it “…will be a focus for sustainable place-based climate action opportunities — including mitigation, adaptation and biodiversity enhancement — to deliver on the National Climate Objective at local and community levels, and to provide a testbed of learning that can be replicated across County Leitrim.”
Discover Coill Chormaic, a cooperative forestry project that was inspired by the life of Cormac ó Braonáin, a passionate campaigner for nature. This project brings together family, friends, and neighbors to plant a native Irish forest that supports the joined-up web of living things and how local people in a community get on with eachother. It’s about more than just planting trees; it’s about creating a space where a community working together meets looking after nature.
