Protecting the Burren - A good idea

EVEN a short visit to any of our great western lakes or most any river will show that we are not good custodians of our natural heritage.

It seems that one of the great natural wonders of Ireland — the Burren — is in jeopardy because of neglect.

Last night the Burrenbeo Trust was launched with the objective of sustaining and protecting that unique and enviable habitat. The initiative recognises that without the co-operation of the local community it would be difficult to protect such a vulnerable landscape.
