A project was commissioned by Nottingham City Council in August 2021 to undertake a detailed analysis of the city\u2019s natural resources, habitat networks, tree stock, and ecosystem services. The work is part of a wider project regarding natural capital in Nottingham involving habitat mapping, ecosystem service assessment, and a tree planting strategy. This data forms part of the biodiversity opportunity mapping element (Lot 2) of the project. The aims of the biodiversity opportunity mapping are to: 1. Through ecological network modelling, build an understanding of Nottingham\u2019s ecological networks, both at the regional and local scales 2. Identify high-level opportunities for biodiversity enhancement, including opportunities to expand existing core habitat, watercourse daylighting opportunities (for watercourses currently flowing through culverts) and opportunities to enhance areas of modified grassland 3. Develop initial priorities for biodiversity enhancement using additional data, including geology and property ownership. The Culvert Daylighting Opportunities layer identifies the locations where culverts sit beneath green spaces and shows potential opportunities for culvert daylighting that could be investigated through urban drainage and flood risk assessment.Removing sections of culvert in areas of green space to produce open streams and pools - so-called culvert daylighting - could extend the wetland habitat network and bring about some of the benefits of open watercourses.
