Over €1m Allocated To River Restoration Projects For 2025

IFI completed the restoration of this section of the River Vartry, known as Devil’s Glen, in Ballymaghroe, in partnership with Coillte

Inland Fisheries Ireland(IFI) is to provide more than €1m in 2025 to support healthy habitats for fish in rivers nationwide.

In 2024, IFI awarded almost €985k for 32 community, angling club, and national projects in 16 counties including Wicklow.

IFI’s Habitats & Conservation Funding comprises two competitive initiatives – the Salmon and Sea Trout Rehabilitation, Conservation and Protection Fund, and the Midlands Fisheries Fund.

Applications for IFI’s Habitats & Conservation Funding 2025 have now opened, and expressions of interest can be made until December 13th.

Eligible angling clubs, fishery owners and other stakeholders are invited to express their interest in submitting a proposal.

Additional and comprehensive information is available to view in IFI’s Funding Call guide for 2025.
