ACRES West Connacht

ACRES West Connacht is dedicated to working with farmers to maintain and enhance the natural value of the West of Ireland landscape. Located at Chapel Street, Belmullet, Mayo F26 C5V6, IE, ACRES West Connacht operates as an agri-environment climate measure (AECM), supporting over 10,000 farmers across counties Galway, Mayo, Sligo, and Roscommon.

Adopting a cooperative approach, ACRES West Connacht addresses local environmental and farming needs through a habitats-based strategy. By combining results-based and prescriptive actions, the initiative aims to improve biodiversity, climate, air, and water quality outcomes. A hybrid payment model rewards and incentivizes farmers to maintain and enhance the environmental condition of their farmland, ensuring sustainable practices.

With the support of a local team, ACRES West Connacht assists participant farmers in implementing the scheme at the local level. Wetland Surveys Ireland, in partnership with the Pearl Mussel Project, plays a crucial role as the local CP team in the Northwest Connacht and South Mayo Connemara zones. ACRES West Connacht is committed to the long-term success of the scheme, fostering a thriving and sustainable agricultural landscape in the West of Ireland. We invite the manager of ACRES West Connacht to create a customized and exclusive company showcase and product listing on our platform, highlighting your significant contributions to environmental conservation.
