Habitat Management Plans

A Habitat Management Plan (HMP) is a strategic document that outlines the actions necessary for the maintenance, conservation and enhancement of a specific habitat. It serves as a guide for all conservation activities, ensuring that they are well-coordinated, effective, and sustainable. An HMP is vital for long-term success in ecological management, whether for a conservation or a development project.

Why Invest in a Habitat Management Plan?

 

  • Structured Conservation Approach: HMPs provide a structured approach to managing habitats, ensuring all activities are aligned with conservation goals.

  • Biodiversity Conservation: These plans are essential for maintaining and enhancing biodiversity within a given habitat/site.

  • Adaptive Management: HMPs allow for adaptive management, where strategies can be adjusted based on ongoing monitoring and emerging ecological insights.

Safeguarding Rare Plant Species

In 2022, FitzGerald Ecology completed a full flora study and rare plant survey of four sub-sites within Turvey Nature Reserve, Co. Dublin. As part of this work, we were responsible for the transplantation of two rare plant populations which were at risk of damage from planned environmental engineering works in the area. This transplantation was conducted successfully. This flora study will inform future environmental engineering works to be carried out by the client within Turvey Nature Reserve in the coming years, which is partially within the Rogerstown Estuary Special Area of Conservation (SAC).
