Heritage Council
Content
The Heritage Council seeks to protect and enhance the richness, quality and diversity of our national heritage for everyone. It works with its partners to increase awareness of our national heritage.
Local Biodiversity Action Plan Fund
In 2007, in collaboration with the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, an increased level of funding was made available to Local Authorities through the Heritage and Biodiversity Officers. This facilitated the further development of over 15 LBAPs.
In 2008, further funding was made available to support the implementation of these plans. It is hoped that further support can be provided in the future to increase the number of Biodiversity Officers within Local Authorities, and to support the implementation of LBAPs across the country. In recent years, the Heritage Council has also made funding available to support the implementation of Local Biodiversity Action Plans (LBAPs) in several Local Authorities, and the role of Biodiversity Officers.
Details will be availabe here if further support is provided.
