What work the Heritage Council is funding this year:
HNVS is grateful to receive continued support from the Heritage Council for the Field Monument Advisor (FMA) Scheme. The FMA plays a vital role in advising Burren Programme staff and participants on best management practices on a case-by-case basis for meeting farming, nature conservation and archaeological conservation objectives.
The FMA programme has continued to increase the awareness and understanding among landowners of the archaeological monuments on their land (preservation through awareness).
This has been achieved primarily through:
