Help map Gloucestershire's habitats to aid natures recovery

Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership and Gloucestershire Centre for Environmental Records joined us at our Data Day and shared the work they are doing to aid Nature’s recovery in the county.

The Nature Recovery Network map is one of the key projects of Gloucestershire Local Nature Partnership. The resources include detailed ecosystem service mapping and opportunity modelling. This is a brilliant interactive map resource for Gloucestershire, detailing our most valuable habitats, and the ideal locations to create new woodland, wetland or grassland habitats.

Gloucester Wildlife Trust are one of the organisations feeding into this mapping project with the aim of tackling the ecological crisis with a citizen science programme called HabiMap. People are key to nature’s recovery and HabiMap gives people the opportunity to map and monitor the county's habitats. Knowing what grows where is fundamental to restoring nature and protecting against climate change. Taking part is also an opportunity to experience wildlife and to develop a connection with it, as well as to learn skills to enhance and protect it.
