The main objectives of this event are to empower local voices and encourage the contribution of existing knowledge of biodiversity along the Greenway route and also to raise awareness of the importance and implications of biodiversity in our communities. It is the second community engagement event undertaken as part of the project.
Tralee Tidy Towns has received funding from the Community Foundation of Ireland to create a Community Biodiversity Action Plan (CBAP) for the Tralee to Fenit Greenway.
This CBAP will help Tralee Tidy Towns to attract more funding to implement the plan and empower other community groups and individuals to help enhance biodiversity along the greenway.
Ger Scollard of Irish Wildlife Trust (Kerry Branch) and Tralee Tidy Towns said: “This is an opportunity for anyone in the Tralee area with an interest in taking action for Biodiversity along the Greenway to get involved and we urge all those who’d like to have an input in the planning and implementation of biodiversity actions along the Greenway to attend.”
Brendan O’Brien, Chair of Tralee Tidy Towns said: “We invite all who have interest in the Tralee to Fenit Greenway itself and those who are passionate about the local community’s biodiversity. This Action Plan and all its community engagements are a great opportunity for local people to witness the importance of biodiversity in our communities and take action to protect and enhance it.”
