Baseline surveys of habitats under Countryside Management Scheme agreement were carried out in 2002 and 2003. Biological monitoring will form the core of a programme to evaluate the effectiveness of the CMS management prescriptions in maintaining and enhancing biodiversity, landscape and heritage features. A further important aim of the monitoring programme will be to assess the contribution of the scheme in delivering targets for Northern Ireland Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) habitats and species.
