CARNEY TIDY TOWNS

Carney Tidy Towns were successful in our bid to become one of six communities chosen to take part in a pilot project to prepare a Biodiversity Action Plan for villages and the surrounding areas. This plan means there will be expert advice given on how best to preserve and protect the wildlife of our area.
