Tralee Tidy Towns members at a workshop in The Rose Hotel last month.
TRALEE Tidy Towns – with support from MTU Business students, Transition Kerry, Kerry County Council and Irish Wildlife Trust (Kerry branch) are inviting the public to feed in to the Community Biodiversity Action Plan (CBAP) for the Tralee to Fenit Greenway by completing a short five-minute survey.
The survey follows, and was informed by, a highly successful public engagement workshop at The Rose Hotel, Tralee, on Monday, October 9.
Tralee Tidy Towns members were delighted to get a diverse range of views and ideas from the local community on initiatives to help promote and enhance biodiversity along the Tralee to Fenit Greenway and these ideas along with those collected at a summer event at Fenit formed the basis for this online survey which aims to have a wider reach.

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.
The main objectives of this CBAP 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.
Ger Scollard of Irish Wildlife Trust (Kerry Branch) and Tralee Tidy Towns said: “We are delighted with the feedback on the CBAP so far and this survey will now facilitate all those who couldn’t come to one of the workshops we’ve held already. We’re very heartened to have the MTU Bachelor of Business students helping on the project – it’s great to have their insights and they are applying the skills they’re learning in the lectures to a real-life project.”
