OPW Biodiversity

Across all areas of its operations - property management, heritage services, and flood risk management - the Office of Public Works (OPW) carries out numerous initiatives and undertakes specific work practices to conserve and promote biodiversity.

The OPW’s Biodiversity Strategy sets out the organisation’s intention for preserving , promoting and enhancing biodiversity across its operations. It identifies strategic actions to help to deliver Government policy through contribution to the delivery of the National Biodiversity Action Plan.

This strategy outlines where OPW interfaces with biodiversity; takes account of the views of staff and of national plans and legislation; sets a long-term vision for the enhanced approach to biodiversity, its condition and prospects, constraints and opportunities; and details the strategic actions identified to enhance OPW’s response to the need for biodiversity restoration.
