PRESS RELEASE
BREE DEVELOPMENT GROUP LTD
A bid by Bree Dev Tidy Towns to improve the local environment has
been given a boost thanks to a cash injection by An Taisce. The Tidy Towns Committee are developing a 5 year Plan which aims to ensure
Biodiversity by conserving the natural habitats and wild flora and fauna in the
Parish. The provision of additional
bird box,nesting box and planting of native trees and shrubs will help sustain
the existing wildlife and provide the community with greater access to their
natural environment
Through the Green Communities Project, An Taisce is able to
offer financial assistance to community groups who have demonstrated a
commitment to restoring their communities to their former glory.
The cash support has been made possible by funding from the
European Regional Development Interreg 4A Ireland Wales Programme and will
be used by volunteer groups to help cover the costs of insurance, tools,
equipment, publicity and training.
Additional support for communities is offered by An Taisce
appointed project officers who are on hand to offer help and advice on forming
groups, holding events and applying for grants. The officers are funded via the
Interreg 4A Green Communities Project.
