"The Foundation of People, Place and Culture"

During our Heritage week event a keen focus on aquatic heritage will be delivered upon at a local level. The workshops will highlight the core element that water has played in creating the all-encompassing heritage that exists here in East Donegal. Heritage is interwoven in three underlying profiles, Natural, Built and Cultural. The theme this year for Heritage week surrounds foundations within those brackets. Our event aims to create awareness to help protect and promote all things water based in our watershed.
The event offers the community, young and old, a super opportunity to look at the foundations of life and people in Convoy and its hinterlands. People would not exist here if water and the life it supports had not been so abundant. The event will aim to develop and promote the River Deele, Convoy, and East Donegal as a place where individuals, community and organisations are connected.
The event will include an electro-fishing demonstration by Loughs Agency staff. Trout and freshwater invertebrate lifecycles delivered by FROG CIC and our Deele Catchment Coordinator. With refreshments served for all at the end of the event.

Please wear appropriate outdoor footwear and have a light waterproof jacket at your disposal.
