Natural Heritage Area

Natural Heritage Area

Natural Heritage Area is a conservation designation denoting a protected area in the Republic of Ireland. The Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2000 makes legal provision for the designation and protection of a national network of Natural Heritage Areas (NHAs). The designation has been used to protect wildlife habitats, particularly bogs.

It is proposed that the designation be used to protect sites of geological interest. As at 2011 the Geological Survey of Ireland was identifying suitable sites.[1]
