Habitat Mapping

Our Habitat Mapping service at FitzGerald Ecology is a cornerstone of ecological conservation and management in Ireland. Our advanced, high-resolution mapping services are meticulously designed to catalogue and visualise the rich tapestry of habitats across the nation. This service is an essential asset in the fields of conservation and ecological monitoring and management.

 

The Significance of Habitat Mapping


Habitat mapping is much more than a mere cartographic exercise. It is an essential process for understanding the ecology of a particular area. Our habitat maps serve as critical guides in ecological conservation, management, monitoring and ecological research, providing a comprehensive overview of the natural landscape. After all, the various fauna species ultimately depend on the flora and habitats which are the foundations of ecology.


Why Habitat Mapping Matters

  • Conservation Planning: Detailed habitat maps are instrumental in developing effective conservation strategies.

  • Land Use Management: Accurate habitat information aids in sustainable land use and development planning, ensuring minimal ecological impact.

  • Biodiversity Protection: Mapping helps in identifying critical habitats that need protection to preserve biodiversity.

An essential process for understanding the ecology of a particular area.

Our Approach to Habitat Mapping


Advanced Mapping Techniques

 

  • High-Resolution Imagery: We utilise satellite imagery and aerial photography to capture detailed views of various habitats.

  • GIS Technology: Geographic Information Systems (GIS) play a pivotal role in our mapping process, allowing for the mapping, analysis and integration of various spatial ecological data.

 

Application of Habitat Mapping

 

Our Habitat Mapping service is an essential step in various domains:

 

  • Environmental Impact Assessments: Providing essential data for evaluating the potential impacts of proposed development projects.
     
  • Conservation Projects: Assisting in the planning and implementation of habitat and other ecological conservation projects.
     
  • Educational and Research Purposes: Serving as a valuable tool for ecological education and research.

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).

I recently worked with FitzGerald Ecology on a small project in a European Designated Site. Alexis’s knowledge of botany was critical to the project and more generally his understanding of the requirements and rigours associated with the Habitats Directive proved to be a real asset to delivering this complex project. My experience is that FitzGerald Ecology provide professional, clear, and practical advice that facilitates landowners to use their land whilst ensuring that the wildlife continues to thrive. I have no hesitation in recommending FitzGerald Ecology to other prospective clients and will no doubt be using their services on future developments.

FitzGerald Ecology carried out a Vegetation Study of Lough Garr Natural Heritage Area Bog Walkway, Co. Westmeath  for a client of Rethinking Rural Ireland (RRI) in 2022. The professionalism and research of the work carried out was of a high quality and greatly appreciated by all the key stakeholders in Rathowen, Co. Westmeath. I/we would have no hesitation in recommending FitzGerald Ecology services for similar work and we will most definitely use their services on future projects.

In order to contribute to management plans which I have prepared, Alexis has carried out fieldwork to produce habitat maps (Level 2 and 3) and vegetation studies for me, sometimes at short notice. He has compiled ultra reliable species lists, delivered digital files and responded promptly to queries. He is pleasant and knowledgeable and I would recommend him highly.
