Students from local Green Schools made a big impact when they put their environmental projects on display at last week’s Catchment CARE conference.

Pupils and teachers from St. Baithins N.S, St. Johnston, Raphoe Central N.S, Convoy Joint N.S and St.Therese’s P.S, Lenamore, Derry were invited to the recent launch of the Donegal County Council led Catchment CARE project in Burt.

The Catchment CARE project is aimed at improving the water quality in three important cross-border river catchments – River Blackwater, River Finn and the Arney River and as part of this, Catchment CARE will be delivering an educational programme on water quality to 30 schools (900 pupils) across the 3 catchments.
