    Please note that the National Biodiversity has no role in issuing notifications to landowners on the presence of invasive species on their land or on enforcement to take action. For information on wildlife crime and enforcement visit: www.npws.ie/wildlife-crime.

    While we endeavor to reply to your query within three working days, due to the high volume of invasive species queries we receive, it may on occasion take longer.

    We are currently not attending the office so are unreachable on the office phoneline.
