Ancient Woodland Inventory for Wales 2004 (AWI2004)
In the 1980s, the Nature Conservancy Council instigated the Ancient Woodland Inventory (AWI). In Wales, the mapping baseline used was the 1st editions of the Ordnance Survey (OS) 1” maps published in the 1830s. The 1980s version of the inventory was compiled manually, using tracings from paper maps. It contained a significant number of boundary discrepancies. In the late 1990s, paper maps were converted to digital format. Work to reconcile boundaries with digital OS boundaries developed the first digital version of the inventory, made available in 2004. This version is referred to as the AWI 2004.
