Creative Response


As part of the research and community engagement Susan is interested in hearing about your experiences of living near or visiting the National Park.  She would like to learn more about what the Park means to the community, what people love about this amazing place, and also about your concerns for the environment and the future.

People are also encouraged to be creative in their responses and to send their writings, drawings or any artform to express their connection to the Park and the landscape. These creative contributions will form an exhibition at the Visitor Centre in 2021. Creative responses can be posted to Ballycroy Visitor Centre, Ballycroy, Westport, Co. Mayo, F28 RX77 or email to ballycroyvisitorcentre@chg.gov.ie. Creative Responses will be accepted up to the end of 2020.

There will be a gift of a handmade enamel artwork for two lucky survey respondents/ contributors which will be randomly selected (adult and child gifts). The artist will also engage with community groups and schools locally.
