Description: A Local Wildlife Site (LWS) is a site of local importance for the conservation of biodiversity. LWSs receive no legal protection, but are given some degree of protection through the planning system. Previously known as Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation (BioSINCs). Local Wildlife Sites are a local, non-statutory designation that sits below, but complements, the national suite of statutorily designated Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSIs). They are of substantive value for the conservation of biodiversity in the county of Nottinghamshire, and are home to rare and scarce species, or represent the best surviving examples of habitats that were once widespread and typical of the Nottinghamshire landscape. Collectively, these sites form an essential ecological network and act as wildlife corridors and stepping stones, allowing species to migrate and dispersal between sites. The continued existence of these sites is vital to safeguard wildlife from the pressures of development, intensive agriculture and climate change.The dataset is a product of the Nottinghamshire Biological and Geological Records Centre (NBGRC). Local Wildlife Sites are identified by the NBGRC using criteria set by the Local Sites Panel. Membership of the Local Sites Panel consists of a range of organisations including local authorities, nature conservation NGOs, and the private sector.Where a site crosses the boundary between adjacent local authorities, the site will be duplicated for each local authority.
