7.21 Environmental Enhancement

7.21.1 In addition to the need for protection there is also a need to carry out enhancements to the natural environment if a sustainable vision for the Isle of Man is to be achieved. Opportunities for environmental enhancement, such as tree planting, the removal of eyesores and the management of habitats will need to be identified in Area Plans with the full involvement and support of local communities. Such opportunities may include former mining areas which have been or are in the process of being reclaimed. Appropriate reclamation should protect or enhance features of industrial or archaeological significance.
