Two of the 17 project sites have been selected as demonstration sites as they display a range of project actions and are located close to population centres. At each of these sites, visitor information panels describe the overall LIFE project and features particular to that site.
(Site No. 12) is located 7kms south-west of Kells, Co. Meath.

(Site No. 15) is located 4 kms south-east of Borrisokane in Co. Tipperary.
