This spatial dataset contains the boundaries of National Nature Reserves (NNRs) in Wales. NNRs represent the very best examples of our wildlife habitats and geological features and can range in size between five hectares to well over 2,000. NNR are declared by Natural Resources Wales (NRW) under the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act of 1949, or under the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981. They are owned or leased by NRW, or the land is held by an approved body, such as a County Wildlife Trust. Each reserve has a programme of work to manage the site's special features. All of them are also Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and may provide places for educational projects, research and management trials. Some reserves require permits to gain access to them. NNRs are designated over a number of years, beginning in 1954 and on going. Attribution statement Contains Natural Resources Wales information © Natural Resources Wales and Database Right.

Some reserves require permits to gain access to them.Please refer to National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 and Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981, for reasons of creation of the original designation. This data has been checked by NRW staff. The original, individual, declaration paper maps are the legal documents. Each individual declaration map that makes up a single NNR has been digitised. In some cases an individual NNR is made up of one declaration map, whereas others have 15 separate declaration maps that were registered over a number of years. Initially the individual, declaration maps were produced on paper at 1:10,000 or 1:2500 scales on early 1900s edition of map, then in later years created through GIS. This dataset has been transferred to OSMasterMap (CCW 2006 update) in 2008 and is on going.

This layer identifies areas of Ancient Woodland and Parkland from which NRW hold recent, auditable records of N-sensitive lichens. Not all lichens are sensitive to increased ammonia: the 62 species used to identify N-sensitive Ancient Woodland and Parkland are particularly sensitive and are important in the woodland/parkland ecosystem. Any area identified as sensitive in this GIS layer should be assessed using a 1µg/m3 NH3 Critical Level.

Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (NVZs) were areas within Wales that contain surface water or groundwater that is susceptible to nitrate pollution from agricultural activities. They were designated in 2013 accordance with the requirements of the European Commission’s Nitrates Directive 91/676/EEC, which aimed to protect water quality across Europe by preventing nitrates from agricultural sources polluting ground and surface waters and by promoting the use of good farming practices. In April 2021 the designated NVZs in Wales were revoked by the introduction of the Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution)(Wales) Regulations with some measures transitioning into law over a period of time. The transition periods do not apply to those farms located in previously designated NVZ where all the measures within CoAPR apply immediately. This dataset is relevant until all measures transition into law. Attribution statement Contains Natural Resources Wales information © Natural Resources Wales and Database Right. All rights Reserved.

National Vegetation Classification (NVC) is the basis used for the selection of Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and is used to define Annex 1 habitats for the selection of Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) under the Habitats Directive (EU Directive 92/43). This project comprises of detailed data related to the Phase 2 plant community survey for Lowland Heath across Wales. The project covers dry and maritime heath covered by the heathland section of the NVC and wet heath covered by the section of the NVC. Two non-NVC communities the calcareous grass and heath, and shingle heath are also described. This project had three main purposes: - To provide an overview of the Welsh lowland heathland resource allowing local conservation programs particularly local Biodiversity Action Plans (BAP) partnerships, to assess and interpret their resource in a Welsh context. - To identify heathland types which are underrepresented in the SSSIs series. - To identified gaps in knowledge and highlight areas for further study. A total of 13 surveys were carried out: Anglesey (1994), West Gwynedd (1993), Gwynedd and Anglesey (1994), Pembrokeshire (1995, 1996, 1997), Rivers Ystwyth and Rheidiol, Ceredigion (1995), Gower Commons (1997), Gower, Bridgend, Vale of Glamorgan, Conwy (1998), Powys (1999), Brecknock and Carmarthenshire (2000), Ceredigion (2001) and Gower (2001). The total area of heath surveyed is approximately 4714 ha which is 35% of the total area of lowland and coastal (maritime) heathland recorded in the phase 1 habitats survey of Wales (1979- 1997). The age of the data is a limitation as habitat composition may change over time, a record of a vegetation type in the data is therefore no guarantee that it is still extant on the ground Vegetation mapping and community definition followed the National Vegetation Classification (NVC). The dataset has been extensively validated and verified however problems were encountered when mapping in field which may have resulted in errors, digitisation was of poor quality and there were occasional problems with identifying community type.

Heatmaps (geodatabases) were created for invasive non-native species pathways in Welsh waters including commercial shipping, recreational boating, aquaculture, fishing and offshore activities. Heatmaps were produced at both 2km x 2km and 5km x 5km resolutions and have associated symbology layers. An overall heatmap was also produced to highlight key areas which are likely most at risk from invasion of invasive non-native species. This assessment provides a valuable insight into hotspots related to each potential pathway of introduction, the areas where the main areas of risk overlap for the different pathways and their overlap with protected areas. The outputs from this assessment can form the basis to underpin biosecurity planning. It should be noted, however, that this was a national scale mapping exercise based only on freely available datasets, which themselves have limitations and possible inaccuracies due to incomplete coverage, both temporally and spatially. The scorings applied to the input datasets and weightings applied to the introduction pathways are also based on available literature and expert judgement. Site-specific activities and conditions will always be an important consideration, as well as temporal variations.

The Habitats Directive Article 17 reporting maps are a snapshot of the spatial data for features listed on the various Annexes of the Directive at the time of reporting. They represent the known extent and location of features in Wales. The latest 10km2 habitat distribution maps submitted as part of the official Article 17 reporting can be obtained from the JNCC: European reporting | JNCC - Adviser to Government on Nature Conservation. The maps are reviewed and updated every 6 years as part of the Habitats Directive reporting process. (Since EU exit now replaced by Regulation 9a of the Conservation and Species Regulations 2017). The original surveys and monitoring events from which the records have been extracted vary widely in dates going back many decades in some cases, with confidence varying significantly.

These data identify 10x10m, 100x100m and 1000x1000m areas where a Threatened Lichen has been recorded on Ash. The dataset is designed to allow land managers to rapidly identify whether they need to consider rare lichens when working with Ash trees, especially if they are considering felling a tree because of Ash Dieback Key - Red shows where a rare lichen is growing on an ash tree: these are the most important localities for action to prevent damage to a rare lichen. - Pink shows where a rare lichen that often grows on ash has been recorded, but where the record does not specify the host tree. Consultation with Natural Resources Wales is advisable in these cases, especially in SSSI, because the rare lichens may be growing on ash. - Yellow shows where a rare lichen that often grows on ash has been recorded on other host trees.
