This web service displays results from the National Survey of Native Woodlands (NSNW) 2003-2008. This survey looked at 1,217 woodland sites across all 26 counties of the Republic of Ireland during 2003-2007. Aims of the survey: 1. To establish the area and character of native woodlands in Ireland. 2. To produce a national inventory of native woodland sites comprising a subjective sample representing the full range of woodland diversity in Ireland. 3. To produce a national classification system for native woodlands based objectively on data recorded in the field, to compare this system with existing schemes and make recommendations for improvement. 4. To evaluate the conservation value and threat status of all surveyed sites and highlight undesignated sites which may be worthy of protected status. 5. To examine the structure, regeneration status and timber resource of native woodlands in Ireland. 6. To produce monitoring guidelines for the ongoing assessment of Annex I woodland habitats. Annex I Priority habitats, which are in danger of disappearing within the EU territory, are indicated with an asterisk.
