Study of the Royal Canal Vascular Plant Flora
|
Client: Fingal County Council In 2004, BEC Consultants carried out a botanical survey of the Royal Canal from the Fingal County boundary with County Kildare in the west to Ashtown station in the east. The canal has been designated as a proposed Natural Heritage Area (pNHA). Our study focused mainly on the central channel and the banks on either side of the canal. A list of vascular plant species was compiled and habitat types were identified and mapped. Other biodiversity features, such as badger setts, were also mapped. Recommendations for the conservation management of the site were proposed. |
