Sky Nature launched an Irish feed on April 8, 2021.[7][8] The channel is registered with the broadcasting regulator in Luxembourg[9] however, the Luxembourg regulator will make use of the classification system set by Ireland's BAI Code of Program Standards. The channel is currently only available in standard definition.

The logo consists of the Sky logo coloured green followed by the word "nature" on a green background. The logo originally consisted of a bunch of leaves forming the background where the "nature" text is. It was later changed green.
