Natura Impact Statement in Ireland

At FitzGerald Ecology, we provide expertise on the preparation of Natura Impact Statements (NIS) in Ireland. These assessments may be required for some projects in Ireland, particularly those that have significant potential to affect Natura 2000 sites. ‘Natura 2000’ is a network of protected areas across the European Union, established to ensure the long-term survival of Europe’s most rare and threatened species and habitats. In Ireland, these sites are crucial for preserving the country’s rich biodiversity and natural heritage.

Natura Impact Statement

The Role of Natura Impact Statements

Natura Impact Statements are essential documents that assess the potential impacts of a proposed plan or project on a Natura 2000 site. The preparation of an NIS is a critical step in ensuring that developments are carried out responsibly and in accordance with EU and national ecological protection laws.

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).
