Welcome to Omeath Biodiversity, created by Omeath District Development to identify, protect and promote the diverse species of plants, animals, birds, wildlife, fauna and flora of the area, and to promote environmental awareness and practices in our Community.
We hope this will be a platform for the Community to share knowledge, their photographs, ideas and projects that will promote and protect our environment for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.
Under our remit we work in partnership with Omeath Tidy Towns on strategic plans, and have successfully worked in collaboration on a number of recreational and aesthetic enhancements for the village.

Community Biodiversity
This Community Biodiversity Action Plan has been created with a grant from The Community Foundation for Ireland (CFI) Environment and Nature Biodiversity programme. Omeath District Development CLG were successful with their grant application to Community Foundation Ireland. They partnered with Simon Barron, an Ecologist with BEC Consultants Ltd, for this project to bring together the plan since 2019.
The Community Biodiversity Action Plan (CBAP) for Omeath is intended to work towards the promotion and celebration of biodiversity within the village and the surrounding area and to provide a plan by which the biodiversity can be enhanced. It was therefore important that all of the Omeath area be covered by the CBAP.
