Scope and Achievements
- Produced a vegetation study of the entire island of Ireland’s Eye with illustrative maps, using Excel, PC-ORD, and GIS software.
- Surveyed and mapped rare/legally protected and invasive plants on the island.
- Recorded permanent quadrats for monitoring vegetation changes over time.
- Directed and monitored invasive species treatments in 2017, 2019, and 2023.
- Gave a presentation on the vegetation and habitats of Ireland’s Eye during a public consultation meeting in September 2017 for the draft Ireland’s Eye Management Plan 2018-2022.
Outcome and Impact
- Successfully completed the Vegetation Study of Ireland’s Eye.
- Provided information which was integral to the Ireland’s Eye Management Plan 2018-2022.
- Contributed to the conservation efforts and future management of the island.
- Played a significant role in guiding invasive species treatments and preserving the island’s natural habitats.
