Tellus Border is a regional mapping project that will collect scientific data on soils, water and rocks across the six border counties - Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim, Cavan, Monaghan and Louth - and continue the analysis and application of existing data in the border counties of Northern Ireland.
For more information about the project, please download our flier here. If you have any questions about the project please visit our Frequently Asked Questions page.
Information from the project will help manage the environment and support sustainable development of our natural resources. The project is a follow-on from the Tellus project successfully completed in Northern Ireland.
