Government wants people to enjoy nature

The government wants people to enjoy Island nature in a way that best suits them.

That's according to Member for the Department of Environment, Food & Agriculture, David Cretney MHK, as officials ask for peoples views on the Manx hills, forests and glens in its latest outdoor survey launched last week.

Mr Cretney says this years survey will focus on visitor numbers, finding if there's demand for more sport and recreation and using feedback to create future ideas for both residents and visitors.

Last years initiative gathered thoughts on the Island glens which contributed to a number of improvement works - the 2019 survey is available until the end of the month.
