Farmland Habitats Guide:
Caitriona Carlin and Mike Gormally from Applied Ecology Unit, and John Finn and Daire O'hUallachain from Teagasc produced this booklet to help farmers, farm advisors, conservationists and land managers understand how they can create and enhance farmed habitats to benefit biodiversity. It is not a detailed habitat management manual. This guide is compact and designed to be taken out and used around the farm. It aids visual recognition of key features that are good for wildlife and suggests a variety of steps to benefit farmland habitats.
The Farmlands habitat guide can be downloaded here. It has been split into two parts to allow easier downloading. Please download both
part 1 and
part 2.
