The consultation boards that are in place at the entrance to Drumboe Woods
What does Drumboe Woods and the wider wooded area in Stranorlar mean to you and how would you like to see it develop over the next 20 years?
A feasibility study is underway to help answer these questions and the group behind a proposal to help make this happen. The Ballybofey and Stranorlar Integrated Community Company CLG (BASICC) want to hear from you, the community, to find out your thoughts and aspirations for the proposal.
The Drumboe and Environs Feasibility Study has been commissioned by BASICC in conjunction with Donegal County Council.
The purpose of the study is to identify priorities to support the sustainable expansion of the woods for the enjoyment of the community and visitors.
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 public feedback received in 2019/20.
Consultation boards are in place in Drumboe Woods for public viewing since mid-December and will remain there until the end of January. The boards are at the Drumboe Avenue entrance to the woods, adjacent to the Scouts Den.
Your thoughts and feedback can be e-mailed to the project team at: mydrumboewoods@gmail.com
Alternatively you can also post your written comments to the feedback box located next to the consultation boards.
"We look forward to hearing what you have to say informing the development," said a BASICC spokesperson.
