South West Nature Map - how the map was produced

The Nature Map was produced through regional consultation using the best available biodiversity data, local expert knowledge and the South West Wildlife Trust’s Rebuilding Biodiversity - New Landscapes for Wildlife and People - an introductory primer (2004).

Following a number of regional workshops looking at the purpose, methodology and process for the map’s production, a series of county meetings were held under the aegis of the local biodiversity action partnerships.
Over 200 biodiversity experts were involved in the production of the Nature Map.
