Wicklow Outdoor Recreation Strategy.

Wicklow Rural Partnership is leading a partnership project to prepare an Outdoor Recreation Strategy for Co. Wicklow.

The strategy aims to provide a framework for the future development and management of outdoor recreation activities within the county.

Partners in the project include Wicklow County Council, Wicklow Uplands Council, Wicklow IFA, Fáilte Ireland, the Irish Sports Council, Coillte and the National Parks & Wildlife Service.

Outdoor recreation covers sporting and leisure activities which take place in the countryside on land (public and private), air and water. Examples are hillwalking, mountain-biking and sailing.

Participants in outdoor recreation are encouraged to contribute to this
project by completing the online recreation survey linked from this page.
A separate questionnaire has been sent to community groups in Co. Wicklow seeking information on outdoor recreation in their area and ideas for future development..

A public workshop to discuss the strategy will be held in the Glendalough Hotel at 8pm on Wednesday 7th May 2008. The finished strategy will be available in Autumn 2008.
