A Rare, Threatened and Scarce Vascular Plant Survey of Counties Cavan, Louth, Meath, Monaghan and Westmeath

Client: National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS)

During 2006 BEC Consultants carried out a survey of rare, threatened and scarce vascular plant species within counties Cavan, Louth, Meath, Monaghan and Westmeath. Plant records, dating back to the 19th Century, held by the NPWS and local Botanical Society of the British Isles (BSBI) recorders were utilised during the survey. In total 129 sites were surveyed and a rare, threatened or scarce plant species was found at 38 of the sites. When a species was located site and population data were recorded, including a releve situated within the habitat of the target species. All data collected during 2006 was added to a Recorder 2002 database.
