Six community-based geoheritage projects awarded funding
Geological Survey Ireland (GSI) has awarded geoheritage (geological heritage) grants to six community-based projects around the country, it has been announced today (Tuesday, December 29).
The funds, valued at €10,000 each, are available under the Geoheritage Grant Scheme run by the Geoheritage Programme in GSI.
GSI, the national earth science agency, is a division of the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications.
According to the department, the aim of the fund is to encourage the telling of the Irish geological story, improve the understanding of geoscience, and to engage with groups throughout the country.
“Geology is part of the heritage of Ireland and is celebrated as part of who we are,” the department said.
