Resourcing Upland Communities’ Conference. The IUF 2016 ‘Resourcing Upland Communities’ Conference was held in Beaufort, Co Kerry, in May. More than 200 participants enjoyed meeting colleagues from all over the island of Ireland to hear the results of the latest research on upland communities.
IUF is a voluntary group of people who represent the views of a diverse group of stakeholders who live, work and recreate in Ireland’s upland areas. IUF is dedicated to the pursuit of a partnership approach to sustainable upland management which is centred on local community integration and involvement.
“A further area where this additional resourcing can help is our plan to develop a series of Irish Uplands Partnerships based on the success of community initiatives we developed in the Wicklow Uplands, on Bere Island and in the Burren Region, and which involves bringing all the local stakeholders, including hill farmers, other residents and tourism and walking interests”.
