Farming for Biodiversity in Leitrim Project

The Farming for Biodiversity in Leitrim Project is a Leitrim Heritage Project being run throughout 2022 in partnership with the Leitrim Sustainable Agricultural Group. It is funded by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage under the Local Biodiversity Action Plan Fund and by Leitrim County Council.

The project aims to support farmers across Leitrim to continue to farm their biodiversity-rich lands while protecting, enhancing and restoring biodiversity and habitats on farms.
Project activities include researching the environmental, social, economic, and cultural value presently provided by small, low intensive farming in Leitrim; formulating a methodology to measure ecosystem services on farms in Leitrim; and provide outreach activities promoting farming for nature to both farmers and the general public.
