Minister for Nature, Heritage and Biodiversity Christopher O’Sullivan TD officially launched the Longford Biodiversity Action Plan 2025-2030 alongside a birdwatching backpack loan scheme at Edgeworthstown Library. With special thanks to Adam Mulvihill, Biodiversity Officer @longfordcoco, Veon Ecology was delighted to be invited to and exhibit at the Longford County Council Biodiversity Action Plan.
The five-year plan outlines a number of actions to increase biodiversity awareness and education as well as conserving and enhancing biodiversity in the County. The strategy focuses on protecting and enhancing natural habitats, fostering collaboration with community groups, and encouraging widespread public participation in biodiversity improvements.
This initiative was funded by the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) and Longford County Council through the Local Biodiversity Action Fund and includes BirdWatch Ireland starter packs and bird detective magazines.
Pictured with Minister O’Sullivan are Veon Ecologists, Tomasz Siekaniec, Ilan Farrell and Amy Haigh.
