The Sustainable Skerries Water Project is showing its first tangible results, just in time for this weekend’s Skerries Eco Festival! Project lead and Sustainable Skerries committee member Helen Scullion writes:

It’s all coming together today at the Community Centre! Our water butt and rainwater planter are being installed, just in time for the Skerries Eco Festival this weekend (27-29 Sep). Not by me, that wouldn’t go so well! But it was great to be there, help out a bit and to chat to passers-by about how they could do something similar at home.

We’re super grateful to the Community Centre for their support, both financial & practical. The butt & planter are part of a project to improve water quality & biodiversity and ease to localised flooding in Skerries. It’s one of two Skerries water projects funded by LAWPRO.

You can hear more at the Eco festival. Our environmental consultant, Féidhlim Harty, is leading a walk at 5.30 on Saturday, and speaking at the Eco Night on Saturday at 8pm. Don’t miss this!
