Ecological Assessments in Kildare
Kildare sits on the edge of the Bog of Allen, containing some of Ireland's most important remaining raised bogs. The Royal and Grand Canals provide important linear habitats. The Curragh is one of the largest areas of semi-natural grassland in Ireland. The Liffey and Barrow river systems support riparian habitats.
Natura 2000 Sites in Kildare
Key Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) in Kildare include Pollardstown Fen SAC, Mouds Bog SAC, Ballynafagh Bog SAC, Ballynafagh Lake SAC, and Rye Water Valley/Carton SAC.
Special Protection Areas (SPAs) include Poulaphouca Reservoir SPA.
Protected Species
Pollardstown Fen supports rare invertebrates including the Narrow-mouthed Whorl Snail. Kildare's bogs provide habitat for declining species. Badger populations are present across agricultural areas. Several bat species utilise older buildings and canal-side habitats.
Services in Kildare
AA Screening is required for developments near the fen and bog SACs and within the Liffey and Barrow catchments. Bat surveys are needed for many residential and commercial developments. The county's rapid development pace means ecological reports are a routine planning requirement.
