BALLYSHANNON FUND

At the Ballyshannon Fund, we acknowledge and appreciate the great ideas that people come up with. We spent our lifetimes in the countryside and we hope we have learned a bit about how rural economics plays out... WE SUPPORT rural life and a respect for the outdoors. We respect the many private citizens who actually own these rural properties... When the owner gets tired of struggling "just to be left alone"; when serious economic alternatives present themselves...and when the farm is sold to a developer, many people come out of the woodwork to say "NO WAY." To those who fear the future: We differ. So do our nearby neighbors who support the Qroe Farm / Audubon International project here run by Edge Valley Preservation LLC . But .....we do see a greater need, and the sale of Bundoran Farm has made it possible to address that need. We established a significant pool of funds, held at the Charlottesville Area Community Foundation, to help teach others what we have spent a lifetime..
