Pupils from Laragh NS enjoying their trip to the Carrickallen Wind Farm. Alex Coleman.The team at Galetech Group headquarters, located in Stradone, celebrated World Children’s Day recently by inviting children from Laragh National School to visit one of their wind farms in Carrickallen.
The children enjoyed the opportunity to get outside in the fresh air and an excuse to pop on their wellies. During the onsite demonstration, the students heard about renewable wind energy and the importance of exploring and adapting ways to live a more sustainable life.
