A new Outdoor Recreation Strategy is currently being developed for County Wicklow. Three consultation evenings are coming up for all those who participate in outdoor recreation activities in Wicklow (including hillwalkers and climbers) and those who provide services to the sector (activity providers, transport, equipment hire, accommodation, dining etc).

Consultation dates and venues:

• Tuesday 26th February – 7:00 pm – Parish Hall, Roundwood.

• Wednesday 27th February – 7:00 pm –  Courthouse Arts Centre, Tinahely.

• Thursday 28th February – 7:00 pm – Hollywood Community Centre, Hollywood.

The purpose of these meetings is to identify the ‘state of play’ of outdoor recreation in the county and how we can sustain and grow the benefits of participation in outdoor recreation for residents and visitors to the county.

All are welcome to the events, so please share this information and help spread the word.

This initiative is being undertaken by the Wicklow Outdoor Recreation Committee (WORC), comprised of representatives from key outdoor recreation stakeholders in the region.
