Description

Leenane Development Association CLG in partnership with the Pearl Mussel Project Ltd and Wetland Surveys Ireland Ltd have secured funding to run a community led project which aims to develop and demonstrate a rhododendron control programme for the entire Bundorragha catchment, County Mayo.

The contractor will work with local stakeholders throughout the development of the plan and oversee a full technical and administrative function, which will include the provision of specialist rhododendron advice, relevant training and materials, and GIS expertise. The assignment will be collaborative in nature and will require the successful awardee to work closely with the Leenane Development Association Please refer to the tender document provided for Instructions to Tender
