Dublin City Council has officially launched an ambitious consultation process aimed at crafting the next Local Biodiversity Action Plan for the capital. The initiative kicked off with a collaborative workshop featuring community organisations, environmental experts, and public bodies, all gathering to address the pressing challenges and significant opportunities facing the city’s natural landscape. Lord Mayor Daryl Barron was in attendance alongside council members and officials to mark the start of this vital project.
Central to the strategy is the campaign titled ‘Your Voice. Our City. Our Nature’, which seeks to place public participation at the heart of future restoration efforts. By gathering diverse experiences and ideas from residents, the Council aims to ensure the resulting plan is deeply rooted in local priorities. This inclusive approach is designed to foster community-led action, ensuring that the protection and enhancement of Dublin’s green spaces reflect the needs and aspirations of those who live and work there.
To facilitate this engagement, a series of local workshops will take place throughout October 2026. Scheduled sessions include Ballyfermot Library on 1 October, ILAC Library on 15 October, The Hive in Herbert Park on 20 October, the Red Stables at St Anne’s Park on 22 October, and a final session for the Finglas/Cabra area on 29 October. Further details and updates regarding these community events are available on the official Dublin City Council website, where residents can also contribute their perspectives through an online consultation portal.
