The BREA (Ballinderry River Enhancement Association) and ART (Association of River Trusts) conference took place on the 19 and 20 May 2010, initially at the Glenavon House Hotel in Cookstown, followed up by a field trip to the Ballinderry River System.
The event focused on what Rivers Trusts and other like-minded organisations are doing to help deliver EU and local objectives for freshwater, its species and habitats; with a special emphasis on the importance of partnership working.
Speakers from across the UK and Ireland demonstrated the wide and varied work of Rivers Trusts, with a special keynote address from the Northern Ireland Minister for the Environment Mr Edwin Poots MLA.
