Residents, community groups, land managers, businesses and organisations are being invited to share their views on biodiversity as part of engagement on Dumfries and Galloway’s draft Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP).
Dumfries and Galloway Council has retained the Investing in Volunteers Quality Standard for a further three years following a rigorous assessment by Volunteer Scotland.
Councillors are to consider the findings of a detailed review of Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) across Dumfries and Galloway, looking at how the service can be adapted and potentially restructured to meet future needs.
Dumfries and Galloway is set to become a national leader in landscape‑scale nature recovery as two major regional projects – SCAMP Landscape Connections and the Galloway Fisheries Trust’s Flowing Forward – Restoring Galloway’s Rivers Project – have been jointly selected by the Scottish Government as one of only nine exemplar projects across Scotland.
