Ecological Assessments in Meath
The Boyne Valley is Meath's ecological centrepiece, supporting important riparian and woodland habitats. The county's agricultural landscape retains significant hedgerow networks. Coastal habitats along the short coastline support estuarine bird populations. Remaining bogs in the west of the county have conservation importance.
Natura 2000 Sites in Meath
Key Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) in Meath include River Boyne and River Blackwater SAC, Rye Water Valley/Carton SAC, Killyconny Bog SAC, and Mount Hevey Bog SAC.
Special Protection Areas (SPAs) include Boyne Estuary SPA, River Nanny Estuary and Shore SPA, and Lough Sheelin SPA.
Protected Species
The Boyne and Blackwater support Atlantic Salmon, Lamprey, and Otter. The Boyne Estuary is important for wintering waders. Badger populations are widespread. Bat species are commonly found in older buildings and along river corridors.
Services in Meath
AA Screening is needed for most developments due to the extensive River Boyne and Blackwater SAC catchment covering much of the county. Bat and badger surveys are common requirements for residential development. EcIA is required for larger schemes.
