Our core data services provide important information for conservation, research and local land use planning applications. We share data with national and regional government organisations, local wildlife and recording groups and local authorities.
We have a Service Level Agreement with all our partner organisations, through which we administer 6 monthly wildlife and sites database updates as GIS tables and undertake surveys of Local Wildlife Sites. For all other enquiries we provide bespoke information, costed to cover the time taken to undertaken the data extraction and report production.
