A conference on the environmental remediation of former mining areas for tourism, Green Mines, is to be held at the Abbey Court Hotel, Nenagh, Ireland, from 20th to 23rd April 2008. GREEN MINES is a consortium of partners from Spain, Portugal, the UK and Ireland collaborating to advance environmental remediation of abandoned mine areas and their conversion into economically sustainable heritage resources. This Conference forms part of that suite of actions and activities. It will showcase not only what has been achieved by project partners, but also the achievements of many other groups, bodies and organisations.
