Baseline and review surveys of Annex-quality grasslands and good quality semi-natural grasslands in selected sites 2025-2027

The National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) require a contractor/contract team to carry out baseline and review surveys of Annex-quality grasslands and good quality semi-natural grasslands on a subset of NPWS sites. It is envisaged that c.20-25 farms will be included. Close liaison with the NPWS Grassland Ecologists and with the NPWS Agri-Ecology Unit will be required throughout. This work will need to be done by an experienced botanist(s), and fieldwork should take place between May and late August. Final deliverables will be due by early October 2027, with interim deliverables due in October of each year.
