Ecological Surveying Techniques for Protected Flora and Fauna during the Planning of National Road Schemes

This document, produced by the National Roads Authority (Ireland), provides guidance on the assessment of impacts on the natural environment during the planning stages of national road schemes.

These survey techniques are also intended to be appropriate to be undertaken prior to maintenance activities that could have implications for the natural
environment.

Key cards are provided for badgers, red squirrels, otter, pine marten and deer among many species from other taxonomic groups.

This document is part of our Good Practice Guidance for badgers, produced by Penny Lewns.
