Northern Ireland Countryside Survey (NICS) Past Reports
 

This page provides a catalogue of NICS reports. Some of the older reports are out of print and will be gradually added as they are scanned. The print quality of the older scanned reports is variable. References to sample square locations have been removed to preserve confidentiality and thus scientific integrity of future countryside surveys. This does not affect the detailed results contained in the reports.
