Ecological Assessments in Tipperary
Tipperary's rich agricultural heartland is intersected by major river systems — the Suir, Shannon, and their tributaries. The Galtee and Comeragh mountains provide upland heath and blanket bog. Lough Derg along the western boundary supports important freshwater habitats. The Golden Vale's intensive agriculture creates both challenges and opportunities for biodiversity.
Natura 2000 Sites in Tipperary
Key Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) in Tipperary include Lower River Suir SAC, Lower River Shannon SAC, Philipston Marsh SAC, Anglesey Road SAC, and Galtee Mountains SAC.
Special Protection Areas (SPAs) include Slievefelim to Silvermines Mountains SPA, Lough Derg SPA, and Glen of Aherlow SPA.
Protected Species
The Suir supports Atlantic Salmon, Otter, and Lamprey species. Hen Harrier breeds in the upland areas. Badger populations are widespread across the county's agricultural landscape. Several bat species are common in older farmsteads and woodland.
Services in Tipperary
AA Screening is standard for developments near the Suir and Shannon catchments, which between them cover most of the county. Bat and badger surveys are frequently requested for agricultural conversions and rural housing. EcIA is needed for larger developments.
