The Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine Charlie McConalogue T.D. launched a new primary school programme designed to educate children on the environmental and economic advantages of our blanket bogs. The programme, which was developed by the Heritage Council as part of LIFE IP Wild Atlantic Nature, is being rolled out to schools in Donegal,Mayo, Galway, Sligo and Leitrim from September following the successful completion of a pilot phase. The programme takes children on a journey through the wonders of bog habitat, learning about how the bogs can control floods, provide clean drinking water and high-quality food, support biodiversity and help tackle climate change by storing millions of tonnes of carbon. As our future farmers, children are learning how to actively manage habitats through sustainable farm practices. The education programme was developed by the Irish Peatlands Conservation Council (IPCC) and NatureNorthWest, and will be delivered by heritage specialists from the Heritage Council\u2019s Heritage in Schools Scheme<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
