The twelve projects included in this dataset are: East of Eden, Purple Horizons, Somerset Coast Levels and Moors, G7 Legacy, Wye Valley, Wendling Beck, Lost Wetlands, Heathland Connections, Bradford & South Pennines, Seaford to Eastbourne: Drink-in the Downs, Tees Estuary Recovering Nature (TERN), Cambridge Nature Network. The boundary for the Lost Wetlands Project has not yet been confirmed and is subject to change.
The Nature Recovery Projects form a key part of the 25 Year Environment Plan’s commitment to deliver the Nature Recovery Network (NRN). They aim to follow Lawton principles to create more, bigger, better and, crucially, connected, sustained and functional wildlife-rich places. Places that counter biodiversity loss, adapt to climate change and support the needs of local communities. They will provide natural solutions to reduce carbon emissions, enhance our landscapes and cultural heritage, manage flood risk and enable people to enjoy and connect with nature where they live, work and play – benefiting health and wellbeing.
This dataset shows the location and boundaries of Nature Recovery Projects throughout England. The main outline of each one was provided by the project lead, and in some cases these were refined by following geographic or administrative boundairies as listed below: OS Open rivers (OGL), AONBs(OGL), County Boundaries(OGL), OS Open Roads(OGL), SSSIs(OGL), Environmentally Sensitive Areas(OGL), Flood Risk Zone 3(OGL), NNRs(OGL), Marine Conservation Zone(OGL).

The Environmentally Sensitive Areas Scheme was introduced in 1987 to offer incentives to encourage farmers to adopt agricultural practices which would safeguard and enhance parts of the country of particularly high landscape, wildlife or historic value. The scheme has now closed to new applicants. Defra introduced a new Environmental Stewardship Scheme on 3 March 2005 which supersedes (with enhancements) the Environmentally Sensitive Areas and Countryside Stewardship Schemes. There are 22 ESAs in England, covering some 10% of agricultural land. Attribution statement: © Natural England copyright.

This is the updated spatial dataset that describes the geographic extent and location of ancient woodland habitat in England (excluding the Isles of Scilly). Ancient Woodland features will be approved county-by-county for publication throughout the first year of production until the data product coverage extends across England.
This is the updated spatial dataset that describes the geographic extent and location of ancient woodland habitat in England (excluding the Isles of Scilly). Ancient woodland is land that has had a continuous woodland cover since at least 1600 AD. It includes Ancient Semi-Natural Woodland (ASNW), which retains a native tree and shrub cover, Plantation on Ancient Woodland Sites (PAWS) where the original tree cover has been felled and replaced by planting, often with conifers, or Ancient Wood Pasture (AWP) where the trees are managed in tandem with a long established tradition of grazing, characteristically with at least some veteran trees or shrubs. The Update Project is being submitted on a county by county basis, the final figures will be updated once each county is submitted.
Already published this is the update of this dataset, but it is uploaded as a new layer due to new designations. Ancient woodland is an irreplaceable resource of immense biodiversity and cultural importance. The AWI Update project will deliver an accurate inventory of the entirety of England’s ancient woodland resource, including those woods smaller than 2ha which are currently not mapped on the AWI. It will also ensure that the AWI is used and respected by planners, developers, land managers and all those who make and use spatial plans in England’s countryside.
The ancient woodland boundaries are digitised to OS MasterMap - assessed by licencing staff as suitable for OS Presumption to Publish process. However, the maps that Ancient Woodlands are based upon include the OS 1” First Edition maps, the OS 1:25 000 and the OS 1:50 000 maps. The boundaries cannot be taken as precise, especially where they are surrounded by woodland, and are only precisely comparable with other boundaries at the 1” map scale (1:63 360). The inventory identifies over 22,000 ancient woodland sites in England. Ancient woodland is identified using presence or absence of woods from old maps, information about the wood's name, shape, internal boundaries, location relative to other features, ground survey, and aerial photography. The information recorded about each wood and stored on the Inventory Database includes its grid reference, its area in hectares and how much is semi-natural or replanted. Prior to the digitisation of the boundaries, only paper maps depicting each ancient wood at 1:50 000 scale were available. The datasets consulted: OS MasterMap, OS First Edition Maps (Historic County Series Maps Epoch 1-4), Historic OS Drawings, Aerial Imagery, Original AWI Datasheets, Open Source old historical maps (varies depending on county agreements), BSBI Indicator species data, County Tithe Maps, Forestry Commission National Forest Inventory and Forest Condition Survey. Besides the isolated and modified woodland boundaries derived from OS MasterMap that have been identified Ancient Woodland, additional third party data is viewed for informative purposes only during the creation of the project layer. No data from any other of these third party sources is copied, transferred or viewable in the layer to be published. Attribution statement: © Natural England copyright and/or database right 2023.

This dataset replaces the following three layer services with a new national single layer:
Priority Habitat Inventory (North) (England)
Priority Habitat Inventory (South) (England)
Priority Habitat Inventory (Central) (England)
This inventory replaces Natural England's previous separate BAP habitat inventories: blanket bog, coastal & floodplain grazing marsh, coastal sand dunes, coastal vegetated shingle, deciduous woodland, fens, lowland calcareous grassland, lowland dry acid grassland, lowland heathland, lowland meadows, lowland raised bog, limestone pavements, maritime cliff and slope, mudflats, purple moor grass & rush pastures, reedbeds, saline lagoons, traditional orchards, undetermined grassland, upland calcareous grassland, upland hay meadows and upland heathland. These earlier inventories were produced from 1999 onwards and derived from habitat datasets collated from across the country, prioritising areas outside of designated sites. The most recent version (3.0) allows us to map overlapping habitats and additional qualifying information to the habitat classes. Priority Habitats are those which have been deemed to be of principal importance for the purpose of conserving biodiversity, being listed in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan, and with maintenance and restoration of these habitats being promoted through agri-environment schemes.
A number of datasets from different sources have been used to build the PHI. Candidate datasets are new datasets being used to update the previous PHI V2.3. The validation datasets were used to help resolve conflicts between the candidate datasets and the data already used in the PHI.

Red zones contain key populations of GCN, which are important on a regional, national or international scale and include designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest for GCN (None are present on this draft). Amber zones contain main population centres for GCN and comprise important connecting habitat that aids natural dispersal. Green zones contain sparsely distributed GCN and are less likely to contain important pathways of connecting habitat for this species. White zones contain no GCN. However, as most of England forms the natural range of GCN, white zones are rare and will only be used when it is certain that there are no GCN. Attribution statement: © Natural England, 2023;

There are two datasets available for download: 'Marine Habitats and Species Open Data' and 'Marine Designated Site Features Open Data'. The dataset 'Marine Habitats Species Open Data' comprises eight sub-datasets: three point datasets and five polygonal. These represent all publicly available datasets of marine habitats and species held by Natural England. The dataset 'Marine Designated Site Features Open Data' is a subset of the habitat and species data, which shows habitats and species (feature) data only within the site in which they are legally designated. The datasets comprises 6 sub-datasets: one point dataset and five polygonal. Both datasets are provided as an ESRI File Geodatabase (GDB) and as an OGC GeoPackage (GPKG). Additionally, 'Marine Designated Site Features Open Data' is provided with an ESRI structured layer file (LYR). All dataset geometry has been validated using the ESRI validation method. It has not been validated using the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) validation method and therefore may not comply with the OGC specification.

Red zones contain stronghold populations of water voles, which are regionally important as defined by the number of observation records, connectivity importance, mean habitat suitability analysis score, area size, and length of watercourse within the area. These criteria were normalized and summed to rank their importance. The top 5% of sites were selected as red zones. Amber zones contain predicted suitable habitat for water voles (incorporating 90% of de-biased observations) and comprise important connecting habitat that aids natural dispersal. Amber areas are smoothed and where other amber areas are within 250m, these are connected. Green zones contain sparsely distributed water voles within 10m of a watercourse or inland water object. White zones are not predicted to contain resident water voles. Attribution statement: © Natural England, 2023.

There are two datasets available for download: 'Marine Habitats and Species Open Data' and 'Marine Designated Site Features Open Data'. The dataset 'Marine Habitats Species Open Data' comprises eight sub-datasets: three point datasets and five polygonal. These represent all publicly available datasets of marine habitats and species held by Natural England. The dataset 'Marine Designated Site Features Open Data' is a subset of the habitat and species data, which shows habitats and species (feature) data only within the site in which they are legally designated. The datasets comprises 6 sub-datasets: one point dataset and five polygonal. Both datasets are provided as an ESRI File Geodatabase (GDB) and as an OGC GeoPackage (GPKG). Additionally, 'Marine Designated Site Features Open Data' is provided with an ESRI structured layer file (LYR). All dataset geometry has been validated using the ESRI validation method. It has not been validated using the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) validation method and therefore may not comply with the OGC specification. These datasets are available under the Open Government Licence (OGL).
The agnostic Web Map Server (WMS) url has been limited to 1:500,000 scale to improve functionality. The WMS url is compatible with ArcMAP, ArcPRO and QGIS, however, it does not function in ArcGIS Online. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. If you need to access the layer stack in ArcGIS Online, either use the ESRI REST Feature Server URLs or the ArcGIS Open Dataset REST Feature Services.
