The tour will be guided by author and folklorist Keith Corcoran, a member of the CLG.
The title of the tour is 'From the Wild Mountain Moorlands to Donegal Bay; the course of a South Donegal river through time and place.'
The public tour has also been organised to highlight Water Heritage Day and to acknowledge the vital support of the River Basin Management Service under their Catchment Support Fund 2026 for the newly created local CLG.
Themes included in this interactive guided bus tour will include;
The threat that rhododendron is posing to our pristine waterways on the upper catchment system

What is being done about it and a restoration vision for the future
The cultural heritage of the upper river valley since ancient times
Back to the future; built heritage on the river in the age of hydro-power
The benefits of understanding our waterways as living ecosystems
Signs of hope - some of the rich wildlife that still makes the river it's home
