Caithness Draft Plan
Produced by The Highland Council on
behalf of
The Caithness Biodiversity Group - October 2002 - Comments By 30
November 2002
| This draft
Biodiversity Action Plan has been produced from national guidance, local
knowledge and comments from a workshop held in the Park Hotel last May. As
you can see, it is still very much a draft document, providing
introductory text on habitats and species and the associated issues, and
suggesting a number of objectives and opportunities. Whilst a start has
been made on the 'current biodiversity projects' and 'opportunities for
action' sections, they are still rather light and we would particularly
welcome your input and suggestions for projects to take forward in the
next five to ten years. Please keep your suggestions realistic, but don't confine your responses to what you think might be fundable within current budgets. The closing date for comments is Saturday 30 November 2002. Please send all comments to Paul Castle, c/o Caithness Ranger Service, Dunnet Pavilion, Dunnet, Caithness, e-mail [email protected]. After the consultation period, we will hold a meeting with representatives from the key agencies and groups that will be responsible for delivering the plan. This will help us fill in the blank sections, particularly in the section entitled 'What Happens Next?' and we hope to launch the final plan in February. Janet Bromham |
