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. Well done to all involved, the project is being delivered by Woodrow Solutions on behalf of the Sligo Heritage Office.
