A Green Map highlighting places in Galway City that are important to the citizens in Galway is currently under preparation. Individuals and groups are encouraged to participate in the development of maps of their communities. The Green Map for Galway is part of a larger study being undertaken by the Department of Geography, NUI, Galway in association with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Galway City Council.

The Green Map is a practical tool which can be used by individuals, tourists, community groups, local businesses, and the local authority. The project is on-going and the map will represent a holistic representation of the city of Galway, and of the places and things that people value in the community.
