Landscapes reflect the relationship between people, place and nature and form the backdrop to our daily lives.  The Tara Skryne Landscape is of central importance to Irish culture and identity which bears testimony to its royal past.  It has been shaped by human activity for thousands of years and has aesthetic, historic, archaeological, recreational, economic, educational and environmental significance.

The aim of the project is to develop a new framework, in consultation with the local community and stakeholders, to manage and accommodate change within historic landscapes.  Our landscapes are places where people live and work so therefore the objective is not to prevent development or change but rather to manage it in a manner which compliments the character and values of the landscape and creates vibrant communities.

Who will deliver this project?

This is a partnership of local and national organisations between Meath County Council, the Department of Environment, Heritage and Local Government and the Heritage Council who have come together to pilot a new national landscape management project.  The lead partner is Meath County Council and the project is being delivered through its Forward Planning Department.

Project Steering Committee

A steering committee of project partners, chaired by Mr. Liam Henry, Director of Services, Planning, Meath County Council, was established in March 2009 to advise on the development and implementation of the project.  The Steering Committee is made up of the following members:
