Ardara Biodiversity Report
Michael Bell of Nature Learn was contracted by Awake Tourism to carry out an ecological survey of the Ardara area, and to compile an action plan to help inform the group’s activities and projects over the next few years. The surveys included recording of mammals, birds, fish, insects, other invertebrates and plants. Also included are results from a desktop survey to discover pre-existing records of species recorded in the locality. Local residents were also interviewed, and many shared their knowledge of local wildlife.
