Biodiversity Action Plan
Welcome to the Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) adopted by Breinton Parish Council. This plan represents our commitment to safeguarding the variety of life — flora, fauna, and habitats — throughout our parish. As a Parish Council, we have a duty to consider biodiversity in our decision-making.
This is a working document and Breinton Parish Council will be working with other stakeholders to review, amend and improve the plan.
We depend on biodiversity daily—for clean air and water, fertile soil, flood protection, pollination, climate regulation, and so much more. By conserving and enhancing the natural environment, we not only protect wildlife but also improve our resilience to environmental challenges and enrich the quality of life for everyone in our communities.
