Come Together for the Mill River!

Our river, our river path and our local wildlife are part of what makes Buncrana special. Looking after them is something we can all play a part in.

Join the Mill River Conservation Group Buncrana for a welcoming community event celebrating our Community Environmental Stewardship Project. Discover how our volunteers help care for the river path, learn more about the Mill River and its wider catchment, and find out about the work we do to protect our local waterways and wildlife.

Get involved! Take part in a short river clean-up through our From Stream to Shore initiative.

From the Mill River to the Estuary and Harbour in Buncrana

As the evening drew in, a few volunteers came together for our Clean Coasts clean-up, helping protect the Mill River, its estuary and Buncrana Harbour, where our waterways meet

A huge thank you to everyone who gave their time this evening to care for our local environment. As a volunteer run community group, we believe that every little action counts when it comes to protecting our precious waterways, biodiversity and coastline.

The Mill river, estuary and harbour are all connected. Litter discarded along riverbanks can travel downstream, entering the estuary and eventually reaching the marine environment of Lough Swilly.

By working together, we can help protect water quality, wildlife and the natural beauty of our local area.

Every piece of litter removed is a small step towards a healthier environment.

A big thank you to our dedicated volunteers and to for supporting community action to protect Ireland's coastline.

From stream to shore, let's keep our waterways clean.
