Core Paths Plan
If you live in or visit Clackmannanshire, and walk, run, cycle, horse ride, sail, canoe or kayak, or manage land in
Clackmannanshire; the Core Paths Plan affects you.
Biodiversity
Biodiversity is life in all its forms. Clackmannanshire boasts an impressive range of wildlife that is not restricted to the open countryside, it thrives in our urban areas too.
A new report celebrating the many successes and highlighting the key achievements of the Clackmannanshire Biodiversity Partnership has been published. The Partnership was formed in 2001 with the aim of protecting the county's natural environment. The Partnership has achieved a great deal, with its actions guided by the
Clackmannanshire Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP). This 5 year plan has come to an end, so a Biodiversity Action
Plan Progress Report 2003-2008 has been published, summarising the achievements and looking to future actions.
Achievements include:
- Installing 27 barn owl nest boxes. In the past 2 years 22 barn owl chicks have been raised in these boxes.
- Improvements to the Delph Pond, Tullibody, including a new nesting platform for the resident swans and two
floating reedbeds. - Constructing Bobby's Bank at Gartmorn Dam, a secure home for sand martins.
- Planting over 5km of species-rich hedgerows.
- All primary schools have taken part in the Fish Go To School project, giving them an insight into the life cycle of brown trout in local rivers.
