A habitat survey is a method of gathering information about the ecology of an area. The fundamental piece of information collected is the habitat type to which a particular area can be assigned. Habitat types are determined by reference to a system of habitat classification. The location and extent of different habitat types present in a site are mapped to provide a clear spatial record. Additional information on habitats may also be collected, such as dominant species or conservation status, depending on the objectives of the particular habitat survey. The results of a habitat survey provide basic ecological information that can be used for biodiversity conservation, planning and / or management, including targeting of more detailed botanical or zoological investigations.

Clare County Council has completed a large area of Habitat Mapping to level III Fossitt (2000) classification system, with the support and involved of the Heritage Council, National Parks & Wildlife Service and others for several years. Much of East, South and North of the County have been covered.

Please note this includes proposed Natural Heritage Areas, but not Special Protection Areas, Special Areas of Conservation or Natural Heritage Areas.
