Residents, workers and visitors to the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley are being invited to play a vital role in shaping the future of one of the UK’s most beautiful and distinctive landscapes in North Wales.
To begin with, members of the public can add their voice to what they think makes the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley special. That information will be used to decide which parts of that nationally recognised landscape gets extra special attention and care.
Added to that, a limited number of people will be selected to take part in a Citizen’s Panel – made up of ordinary people who live, work and visit the landscape – to give focus for the National Landscape’s team and partners focus for the next five years.
The Panel will discuss these three main themes:
- Nature and Land Use– including nature recovery, climate change and land management.
- Communities and Resilience– looking at services, housing, employment, and transport.
- Enjoyment and Wellbeing– including tourism, recreation and what kind of visitor economy best suits the area.
David Shiel, Area Manager Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape said:
“This is such an exciting project. We’re looking to get people involved to help shape how this treasured landscape is cared for and enhanced for future generations.
“The purpose of a National Landscape is to conserve and enhance natural beauty of the landscape. But that’s not the full story. It must also support thriving communities, resilient nature, and sustainable tourism. To do that well, we need to hear directly from the people who know and love the area best.
“Whether you live in the area, work here, or are a visitor. Your voice matters.”
