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 is supporting Drowning Prevention Week 2026, urging residents and visitors to stay safe while enjoying the region’s rivers, lochs and coastline.
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.
A wave of new green jobs has just been announced as part of the Solway Coast and Marine Projects (SCAMP) – Landscape Connections initiative, marking a major step forward in environmental restoration efforts across Dumfries and Galloway.
Dumfries and Galloway Council will mark Drowning Prevention Week 2025 from 14–20 June by promoting the importance of staying safe in and around water this summer.
