Wer sich für Naturschutz interessiert, eine Betätigung an der frischen Luft fürs Wochenende sucht, gerne mal mit anpackt, und neue Leute treffen möchte, den interessieren vielleicht die conservation projects vom Fingal County Council, wo immer freiwillige Helfer gebraucht werden.

Tee, Kaffee und Kekse werden zwar vom Council spendiert, aber ein packed lunch sollte sich jeder selbst mitbringen.

Wer Interesse hat, kann sich bei Therese Casey oder Hans Visser vom Fingal County Council unter den angegebenen Nummern melden.
