West Connacht Commonage Scoring
ACRES West Connacht Co-operation Project Team scored circa 170,000ha of commonage in 2023 across Northwest Connacht and South Mayo Connemara.
Gunnera Pilot Farm Project
Our pilot farm study was set up on a field on Achill Island that has a severe infestation of Gunnera spreading on the site for over 15 years.
Fire Damage Project
The ACRES West Connacht research project on the site of a fire that burned 7 hectares of a large commonage area in County Mayo aims to better understand how long it takes the area to recover after a fire and to improve management advice for farmers to reduce the risk of fires on their land.
