## Description
Department for Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs have commissioned a repeat of the NI Countryside Survey commissioned in 2007. Standard protocols will be followed, in line with the GB Countryside Survey, across a sample set of quarter kilometre (25ha) grid squares located throughout NI. The Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) in GB are leading the study, partnered by AFBI and Queens University Belfast.
