Outdoor Recreation
Embracing Ireland’s Outdoors, The National Outdoor Recreation Strategy, sets out Irelands ambition to create a more coordinated and sustainable approach to the development, management and utlisation of Irelands outdoors. Central to the strategy’s implementation are Outdoor Recreation Officers (OROs), dedicated professionals tasked with coordinating and facilitating outdoor recreational leadership at a county level.
Clare Local Sports Partnership have successfully been selected to host one of the 6 pilot Outdoor Recreation Officers.
One of the key roles of the Outdoor Recreation Officers is to facilitate the development of a County Outdoor Recreation plan. These plans serve as tailored roadmaps, reflecting the unique characteristics and needs of each county. Through extensive consultation and planning, the County Outdoor Recreation plans will outline strategies for the development and management of outdoor recreation resources, ranging from hiking trails and cycling routes to water-based activities and nature reserves.
Jessica O’Keeffe is our Outdoor Recreation Officer.
