Biodiversity Action Plans
our principal ecologist was contracted by the Heritage Council to draft Biodiversity Action Plans for Cork County Council and Cork City Council (both now published).  In 2010 Limosa Environmental produced a local Biodiversity Action Plan for Coolagown Development Group (Co Cork) which included the identification of measures to enhance local biodiversity.
