Londonderry Mpower is a youth group based in the Northwest of Northern Ireland. Our base is on the banks of the river Faughan and we chose this iconic river to be the subject of our John Muir Journey. Follow us as we explore the river from tributaries to the sea and learn about the environment as we go.
The River Faughan is part of the Foyle system which is one of the most prolific salmon rivers in Europe. It is one of the most natural rivers in Northern Ireland in common with most of the rivers flowing from the Sperrins. The naturalness of the Sperrin rivers is associated with low intensity agriculture and overall lack of human influence.
