Roscommon Town Decarbonising Zone (DZ)

Roscommon County Council has designated Roscommon Town as the Decarbonising Zone (DZ) for the county — recognising its role as the county’s central hub with its mix of public, commercial and residential functions, and its suitability as a test‑bed for climate‑action initiatives adapted to a rural/mid‑sized town context.

Farming Rathcroghan Scheme – Sustainable Farming in an Archaeological Landscape

Biodiversity, Environmental and Sustainability Initiatives, Project Management, Roscommon

The Farming Rathcroghan EIP project gives advice and support to farmers in the local area on how to farm in an historically important landscape, to look after and improve the landscape, while protecting bio-diversity, carbon sequestration and improving water quality. This is important because farmers need to work with forms and rules while at the same time make a living.
