Last Thursday, Gerry, Chairperson of Ballisodare Fishing Club was assisted by two environmental studies students from the ATU, spoke to the senior children from Taunagh N.S. and Ardkeeran N.S. about the biodiversity of the River Unshin. They were given booklets to identify insects and micro-organisms caught in samples from the river. They used magnifying glasses to observe these creatures more closely.
