The
Fingal Biodiversity Programme is all about ACTION FOR NATURE.
The Biodiversity Plan includes a 100 actions that will create
the Ecological Network in Fingal and raise awareness of the
importance of nature to the local community. Some of the most
important projects will evolve around the key nature conservation
areas in Fingal such as the Rogerstown Estuary, Howth Head
and the “Green Z” Tolka Valley, Royal Canal and
the Liffey Valley in the Dublin 15 area.
Many projects are already being implemented around the county.
The Rogerstown Estuary at Donabate is the flagship project
for the Fingal Biodiversity programme. Here the Parks Division
is developing a major new natural amenity area around the
Rogerstown Inner Estuary. The County Council is also working
on a variety of other projects such as dune protection measures,
woodland management works and heathland management to enhance
sites wherever we can.
Support and participation by the local community are key elements
of any nature conservation project. By actively involving
the community in the design and management of our landscape,
everybody gets a chance to have their say and contribute to
their local surroundings.
