Public Invited To Shape Future Of Drumboe Woods

Members of the public have been invited to have a say in the future of development of Drumboe Woods and the wider wooded area in County Donegal.

Donegal County Council has launched a feasibility study to identify priorities to support the sustainable expansion of the Woods.

Commissioned by BASICC, the study is led by Pasparakis Friel Architects with support from KPMG, Earthy Matters, and Sammon. Funding for the project has been provided by the Leader programme and Donegal County Council.

Ambitious and exciting initial concepts have been developed. These concepts are based on from public feedback received in 2019/20. Consultation boards are in place in Drumboe Woods for public viewing from mid December 2021 until end of January 2022. The boards are at the Drumboe Avenue entrance to the Woods, adjacent to the Scouts Den. You can also post your written comments to the feedback box located next to the consultation boards.

Alternatively, your thoughts and feedback can be emailed to the project team at mydrumboewoods@gmail.com.

The boards can also be viewed online here.
