The Irish Wildlife Trust believes that the changes to Section 40 of the Wildlife Act contained in the Heritage Bill 2016 were unjustified and damaging to natural heritage.

We campaign for the proper management of our national parks to ensure that the shared heritage that they safeguard is properly maintained. Read more here
