Schools to visit Gruig Wind Farm

SEVENTY local school children will be visiting Gruig Wind Farm this week.

These special visits have been arranged by Action Renewables and RES, one of the world's leading renewable energy developers and will give the children the chance to learn about wind energy; how it benefits the environment and local community, as well as getting the chance to experience the wind farm first hand.

The 10 turbine Gruig Wind Farm, near Loughgiel began generating April 2009. Gruig is located 3km east of Corkey village, 5km southeast of Loughgiel and 6km east of Cloughmills.

Three schools will visit the Wind Farm this Wednesday including: St Bridgets PS, Cloughmills, Ballymoney, High School and St Joseph's PS, Dunloy.
