The Suir Estuary walk at Cheekpoint

 

Thanks to Emma for the photos of the recent outing

March walk to Cheekpoint

The March Walk takes place on Sunday March 16th

The varied terrain and habitats of Coolbunnia is the theme of the March walk.  This 2½ hour walk takes us from the river village of Cheekpoint along the shore of Waterford Harbour and up through the mixed woodlands of Coolbunnia and back to Cheekpoint.   Although the climb from the shore in Coolbunnia is long it is reasonably gentle.   This is a family friendly walk with much of interest for all.  Dogs on lead please.   Date:  Sunday March 16.   Meeting point is Cheekpoint Quay at 2.30 pm.   Parking nearby. 

Fish week starts 20th June

To celebrate Fish Week 2010, IWT are joining forces with the communities of Cheekpoint and Passage East for an afternoon's activities, including a walk, exhibition and screening of the controversial film on fish stocks "The End of the Line".As part of the IWT’s campaign to ensure a reformed Common Fisheries Policy that will result in a sustainable future for the marine environment and coastal communities I am encouraging you to please put your name to this petition. This is being coordinated across Europe by OCEAN2012, the alliance of eNGOs of which the IWT is a member. Please also pass it on to your own email lists and others you may think would be interested.
