Habitats
Ireland's habitat evidence base: ancient & long-established woodland, the National Survey of Native Woodlands, the Irish Semi-natural Grasslands Survey, coastal lagoons and freshwater pearl mussel sensitive catchments: with SACs for statutory context. Survey layers are classified to Fossitt, the scheme Irish habitat reports are written in.
Woodland
Everything wooded in Ireland: the Ancient & Long-established Woodland inventory and the National Survey of Native Woodlands habitat polygons, with SACs on for the designated oak woods. Long-established woodland is irreplaceable habitat: whether a wood appears on the first-edition OS map is usually the first thing a client needs to know.
