Mapping the Irish Flora ~ 2005-2010
This project is initially a four-year study to determine the status and distribution of lichen species throughout the island of Ireland. LichenIreland is supported by National Parks and Wildlife Service; National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin; Environment and Heritage Service and the Ulster Museum, National Museums Northern Ireland.
In order to raise the profile of the group, this project will:
- engage new and existing lichen recorders (training, where appropriate, will be given)
- collate the existing lichen data set on the Recorder database
- undertake field recording from sites and habitats throughout Ireland
Other possible publication formats will be discussed as the project evolves.
