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.
