The Sub-Compartment Database (SCDB) is a physical description of the land that the NRW manages. The SCDB is our authoritative data source, giving us information for recording, monitoring, analysis and reporting. Through this it supports decision-making on the whole of the NRW woodland estate. Information from the Inventory is used by NRW, wider government, industry and the public for economic, environmental and social forest-related decision-making. Furthermore, it supports forest related national policy development and government initiatives, and helps us meet our national and international forest-related reporting responsibilities.
