Donegal County Council is inviting members of the public, community groups, landowners, businesses, and organisations to have their say on the draft County Donegal Biodiversity Action Plan 2026 – 2030.
The deadline for submissions is the 23rd of March.
The Draft County Donegal Biodiversity Action Plan 2026-2030 provides a framework for biodiversity action over the next five years with the vision to protect, restore, and celebrate biodiversity in Donegal.
It has been prepared by Donegal County Council and the County Donegal Biodiversity Working Group following a period of public submissions and stakeholder engagement last year.
The draft Action Plan responds to national commitments and Donegal County Council’s biodiversity duty, and focuses on practical action, including improving knowledge and awareness, managing Council lands in more nature-friendly ways and building strong partnerships and local projects across the county.
The Draft County Donegal Biodiversity Action Plan 2026 – 2030 is available for review from until the 23rd of March and is also accompanied by the Appropriate Assessment Screening Report and the Strategic Environmental Assessment Screening Report for the Draft County Donegal Biodiversity Action Plan.
