Field Trip, 2-3rd November 2003, The Burren, Co. Clare.

On the field trip to the Burren, IDARI students and staff followed a guided tour of the spectacular landscape provided by expert on the area's ecological and agricultural uniqueness, Dr. Brendan Dunford. A visit was also paid to the well known farmer Patrick McCormack, who together with his wife Cheryl, uses holistic and organic practices on his farm in Mullaghmore. An evening of Irish traditional set dancing and music was enjoyed that evening in Kilfenora and the field trip ended the following day with a bus tour of the coastal route back to Co. Galway.
