River Basin Management Service: CSF
"Landowner Water Quality Awareness phase continuation"
Workshop number: 8
Landowner engagement: Awareness workshops:
Over 150 farmers have now received an introductory workshop in water protection and biodiversity awareness linkage.
As part of our River Basin Management Service "Catchment Support Fund/" (CSF) we continue to engage with the farming community of the local and surrounding hinterlands of the river Deele.
We engaged on site with 15 local farmers at our office venue last night/Wednesday evening.
Our (CSF) Deele Catchment Coordinator, Damien Devine delivered a workshop on the basics of water quality threats and managing such. The group were also made aware of the delicate balance and connection that good water quality has in regards to aquatic lifecycles. In a bid to make this this more relevant and visual, a kick sample survey of the local river was conducted afterwards, and all were provided with a detailed example of how we can read water quality.
To tie in with our current CWDF revetment project, it was an ideal opportunity to showcase the work of our organisation, and how we can work together going forward. There was a very positive outcome from this last night, and more will follow in that regard.
Basic level: Citizen Science Stream Index (CSSI) was deployed and provided with the help of Cillian Kelly. Cillian received training on this form surveying/monitoring from Patsy and Lisa from RBMS in 2025. Inter-generational engagement and community buy-in are key for future-proofing the integration of our organisation into the fabric of river-shed catchment.
Over the coming months we will change steer and now work directly with landowners along the Deele watershed, to deliver practical actions. Delivering some revetment works in already identified areas. Upon completion we will drive to engage with more landowners, with the delivery of connected water quality awareness workshops to follow. If you are aware of erosional issues on your lands or other potential threats to water quality, please get in contact with us. We are very much willing to work with you, and assist where we can.

One of our most successful elements within our organisation in recent years, has been the participant numbers that engage in our Youth Fly tying sessions at Office 16 of the Enterprise Centre.
A victim of our own success, we had been struggling severely to met the demand put upon resources, to further advance and meet the needs of this wonderful Group.
Thankfully, that gap was filled with the recent support of Donegal County Council. We would like to acknowledge the support received from Municipal District Councillors through the 2026 Development Fund Initiative. We cannot convey how much this support has gone in regards to helping us sustain and grow this provision of youth service delivery within our organisation. A massive thank you to all the Councillors within the Lifford and Stranorlar MD, who thoroughly get what we are delivering, and the legacy this service can bring to the Deele Valley, and wider hinterlands of East Donegal.
At a recent come and "try2tie" taster session, we were able to put the resources secured, to use. A super wee night for us all. If you have a child, 9 years+, with a keen interest in nature and the world around them, then get in touch, as we are on the verge of rolling out our first 9-wekk winter slot of all-levels welcome, fly tying.
Added thanks to Mark Neely, who continues to lend his expertise and assistance with the youth. Lost without you sir.
Thanks all.
Yours

New Community Garden for Moville
Empowering other around the County: ā€œMoville Menā€™s Shed plans new Community Gardenā€
Menā€™s Shed and Tidy Towns are inviting locals to roll up their sleeves and help create a new community green space
A new community garden project is being launched in Moville, with local residents being invited to get involved in the creation of a new green space for the town.
The project is being developed by Moville Menā€™s Shed in conjunction with Moville Tidy Towns, and will be located on a small greenfield site to the rear of the Menā€™s Shed Malin Road premises.
The proposed garden will be situated behind a number of existing poly-tunnels which are already used for growing vegetables, and will form the first phase of a wider development of the Menā€™s Shed site.
ā€œThis marks the exciting first step in our overall site development,ā€ a spokesperson for Moville Menā€™s Shed said.
Funding has also been secured for the construction of a new perimeter wall, which will run alongside the road as part of the project.
Members of the community are now being encouraged to get involved ahead of work getting officially underway.
The organisers are hoping that local people will come together to help create a welcoming and attractive garden area which can be enjoyed by the wider community.
Whether people have a passion for gardening, are handy with tools, or simply want to lend a hand while meeting new people, everyone is welcome to take part.
Anyone interested in getting involved can contact Mickey Byrne on 087 9250431 via WhatsApp, email [email protected], or call into the Menā€™s Shed and speak with a member. (Source: By Caoimhinn Barr Reporter Inishlivehttps://www.donegallive.ie/news/inishowen)

River Basin Management Service: CWDF Project Works 26

" Inishowen Rivers Trust and Deele Community Anglers CLG"

Volunteers Required: ā€œThe call went out, and my word it certainly was answeredā€

Our Group of volunteers were out on the lovely River Deele this morning installing revetment works to counter erosion at a site along the Broadpath/Convoy area of the catchment.

It was a great day with the team, with everyone from the oldest to the youngest playing their part in a superbly coordinated workshop by Trish, Micheala and John, from the Inishowen Rivers Trust.
The Team are certainly well up on their game, when it comes to building a brash revetment, to trap sediment, prevent release, and create habitat, with dozens of projects under their belt around the Peninsula.

To all who played any part in recent months, in bringing this project to fruition, we extend our thanks.
Thank you also to Thomas Leppar for his permission to carry out these valuable works on his lands.
A massive thank you to Mc Coys CafƩ for supplying all the hungry volunteers with lunch at the mid-way point of proceedings.
A big thank you to Loughs Agency for the help in obtaining brash, via their Christmas tree collection in January, with Donegal County Council. Very much appreciated folks, and great to see them going to such a great use.
And a huge thank you to Martin Scanlon, for transportation of the brash to the site, it was a God-send, cheers sir.
Thanks also to our digger driver Aaron, who performed his duties with surgical precision, cheers, sir.
Next stage will see the completion of the project.
Indeed, with this one, we possibly bite off more than we could chew (nearly!), with this project. It was originally planned to carry out a few smaller revetments. However, there was a more pressing need to get this one over the line. As the next phase will see the Loughs Agency install a series of solar drinkers, riparian fencing, and tree planting, to protect this area from livestock intrusion. Which truly emphasises, the true value of grassroots community angling groups, bridging with statutory authorities.

We will meet once more next Saturday morning, at 9am, to complete this project. Please make the effort to come out to make sure we get the job completed. We will meet with the committee this Tuesday night, to plan our next session, as today was akin to a double workshop, due to the physical exertion by all. Not that there was any complaints at the conclusion, as all stood around to admire their efforts.

Revetment Works are supported by the River Basin Management Serviceā€™s CWDF, undertaken by the Deele Community Anglers CLG, overseen and managed by the Inishowen Rivers Trust, and supports provided by Loughs Agency.
Thank you to our volunteer workers, and IRT Staff, David, Geradine, Cathal, Jacinta, Aaron, Rob, Roy, Ivor, Fintan, Eunan, Paul, Gavin, Harriet, Trish, John, Michaela, Alan.
Many thanks
Yours

We have been working with Moville Men's Shed on our Peacebuilding Through the Environment Project, their project is focusing on bringing some unused green space back to life as a community garden. They will be working with Moville Tidy Towns on what promises to be a fabulous project.
Here is a wee promo video that the guys have produced for anyone thinking about joining their shed. More links will follow as the project rolls out.
