"We were delighted to work with VeriConnect, on delivering a variety of training events and programmes in Leitrim. This project was funded through the LEADER 2014-20222 Rural Development programme following a procurement process in which VeriConnect was successful. They have a very wide range of expertise and people available who delivered a very customised bespoke programme of training and awareness for communities and individuals across Co. Leitrim. This bespoke programme covers many different aspects of biodiversity and conservation in different locations and settings around the county. The people and trainers who we met from VeriConnect are well able to get people engaged and understand the many scientific, environmental, economic and social issues associated with biodiversity and the challenges in addressing biodiversity loss and decline. We were also very pleased with their engagement with us as a local development company in arranging managing and delivering the training and the project."
