Roundwood and District Community Council are delighted to team up with the Master students in Environmental Resource Management from UCD for their group field study this year. The project will be based on the Roundwood area examining aspects such as the history and culture, agriculture, heritage, landscape, etc. of the area.

Working with the Community Council and the people of the area the study will produce recommendations for improving and developing the area. In previous years the information gathered from the study was used to compile beautiful hardbacked books on the areas concerned.

So if you see the students around in the coming months please give them a good Roundwood welcome and help them out as best you can. For more information please contact any member of the Roundwood and District Community Council. WHIST RESULTS
