Following the launch of the 4th National Biodiversity Action Plan, all local authorities are required to have Biodiversity Action Plans in place by the end of 2026. With the appointment of a Biodiversity Officer, supported by the Heritage Council’s Biodiversity Officer Programme, Meath County Council are commencing this process and plan to finalise a Local Authority Biodiversity Action Plan by early 2025.
With the support of the Meath Biodiversity Working Group and Meath Heritage Forum, Meath County Council would like to hear your views on nature and your ideas on how we should be addressing the biodiversity crisis at a local level.
This is your opportunity to highlight the key issues affecting biodiversity in your locality and assist in identifying what we should be aiming to achieve over the period of the County Meath Biodiversity Action Plan 2025 – 2030.
Everyone has a role to play in the protection and restoration of nature and it is important that we, in Meath, play our part.
