This map represents our best assessment of the distribution and extent (in England) of some of the Priority Habitats that are listed in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan, based on existing, nationally available, sources. These rare or threatened semi-natural habitats are the subject of concerted action by many different organisations involved in wildlife conservation. This information has been gathered using a standard method, and we intend to work in partnership with others to update and improve the data periodically. All the maps are at an early stage of development and are incomplete for some habitats; they should all be considered provisional. These data will be updated and new habitats added as soon as the information becomes available to Nature on the Map.

Please use the 'Contact Us' feedback form to tell us about any changes to the inventories which are needed. Please include the priority habitat, Unique parcel identifier or grid ref, the change that is needed and why. Including your email address will allow us to clarify any comments.

Use the Information Tool to see some of the information recorded about each site. You can learn more about BAP Priority Habitats from the UKBAP website
