Members of the Irish Ramsar Wetlands Committee\u00a0 met recently to\u00a0 receive updates from Ramsar Europe and to discuss our objectives for the coming year.\u00a0 We were facilitated by NPWS at Ireland’s newest National Park, \u00a0Br\u00fa na B\u00f3inne\u00a0 which forms part of the World Heritage Property here\u00a0 set within an extensive demesne\u00a0 along the River Boyne and valley in County Meath.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We listened\u00a0 to a very interesting talk from Shirley Clerkin project manager of the innovative T\u00f3char, an exciting wetlands restoration project in the Midlands. for more about what is happening under this project, see here Home – T\u00f3char Wetlands<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Our visit coincided with the arrival of some special visitors. These Old Irish Goats are being introduced for conservation grazing to help restore part of the estate. The Old Irish Goat is Ireland\u2019s indigenous landrace breed, now critically endangered and only found in remote mountain ranges roaming in feral herds.\u00a0 Using these goats to help restore habitats by their grazing helps to conserve the breed.<\/p>\n
