Restoration of Woodstock Gardens: an initiative of Kilkenny County <strong>Council</strong>.<br />
Parish Natural <strong>Heritage</strong> Survey<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong> <strong>Council</strong> in partnership with Carlow County <strong>Council</strong> has initiated a novel<br />
approach to raising awareness of the natural heritage within the local authority area. A<br />
botanist has been appointed to the local authority to produce a natural heritage map of<br />
the resource within the different parishes of Carlow. This project is carried out in<br />
liaison with the local community and landowners. It is hoped that the information<br />
collected would be presented in a number of different formats so that the local<br />
community could benefit from the natural heritage resource of their area.<br />
Local Area Plans and Habitat Mapping<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Heritage</strong> <strong>Council</strong> has promoted the use of habitat mapping as an integral part of<br />
the Local Area Plan process. <strong>The</strong> use of habitat mapping as part of the Kinvara Local<br />
Area Plan has been piloted in association with Galway County <strong>Council</strong>, and structures<br />
are being developed to ensure that the natural heritage becomes a more integral part of<br />
the local area planning.
