Phase 2 Woodland Survey of Wales: Species Datasets

This dataset contains species records from detailed Phase 2 survey data from over 800 woodlands of conservation interest in Wales, predominantly Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSls) and pSSSI woodlands.

Phase 2 woodland surveys have been carried out periodically since the late 1980s but a concentrated period of survey on SSSI and pSSSI woodland occurred from 1995 and 2000.

Only a redacted version of this data is available under the Open Government Licence and available for public use, see Limitations on Public Access and Use Constraints.

Lineage: Standard woodland National Vegetation Classification (NVC) survey methodology was used to collect this data. Woodland communities were identified by eye and mapped, supported by sample quadrats and target notes.

Additional Information: This non-spatial species data is held in Recorder 6 which dates between the late 1980s and 2000, and non-sensitive species records are available to download via the NBN Atlas (see Resource Locator).
