The associated data are also essential to underpin effective conservation measures for internationally important habitats and species. Four Annex I woodland habitats are considered to occur in Ireland (* denotes a priority habitat): โ€ข 91A0 Old sessile oak woods with Ilex and Blechnum in the British Isles โ€ข 91D0 Bog woodland* โ€ข 91E0 Alluvial forests with Alnus glutinosa and Fraxinus excelsior* โ€ข 91J0 Taxus baccata woods of the British Isles* The assessment of conservation status requires an understanding of the distribution, area, structures and functions and the pressures impacting on these habitats. The surveillance programme involves monitoring a representative sample of the resource across its natural range. WP 2: Survey of NPWS woodland properties in the South Western region The varied responsibilities of NPWS include the management of 6 National Parks, 78 Nature Reserves, and a variety of other State-owned lands. NPWS is responsible for c. 4,570 ha of native woodland in addition to some extensive areas of conifer plantations transferred from the former Forest and Wildlife Service. The National Survey of Native Woodlands (NSNW; Perrin et al. 2008) was undertaken from 2003-2008. It covered 1,217 sites, representing the range of native woodland diversity in Ireland, and included many NPWS woodland properties. These sites were survey
