Training Programme

FORUM Connemara's Dúlra Project Provided Training for the Connemara Community in Environmental Management.
FORUM Connemara CLG was pleased to offer a unique opportunity for locals in the Connemara area to receive free training in various Environmental Management skills. These skills, such as Fencing, Chainsaw use and Pesticide / Herbicide use are key skills for those, specialising in the control of invasive species and environmental restoration.
We are very thankful to Údarás na Gaeltachta and the Wild Atlantic Nature LIFE IP for the funding to provide these training places to the people of Connemara.
The training was run during the month of February and the training is free of charge to 70 successful applicants.
Prospective training candidates were invited to submit their interest and the Closing Date for Applications to participate in the training program was 31st January at 12:00pm. Please note that, due to a limited number of available training places, not all applicants were allocated a training space.
Thank you to all who applied - we had 85 applications and are delighted to say that 70 people were trained across Moyard, Maam, Recess, Inverin and Rosmuc.
This training increased the local skillset needed to tackle invasive species and ensures there is a workforce available locally should further roles in Environmental management come up.
