Data maintained, managed and supplied by NBGRC. Sites are identified by NBGRC by a review of existing data and/or site survey, mapped against OS MasterMap and assessed against a set of criteria prior to becoming officially designated . Local Wildlife Sites are mapped in detail using OS MasterMap to ensure that accurate spatial information on all sites is held. The GIS data will include LWS site name, reference number, a brief description of the site interest, size, and date of designation. For more information on selection criteria and methodology, please view the supporting documentation here: https://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/media/3082584/notts-lws-handbook-part-1-draft-july-2018.pdf

The dataset is a product of the Nottinghamshire Biological and Geological Records Centre (NBGRC) within the City's Museums and Galleries Service based at Wollaton Hall. Local Wildlife Sites (formerly known as BioSincs) are identified by the NBGRC using criteria set by an independent expert Panel. Data is collected from museum field surveyors and local and national expert naturalists. The NBGRC is part of the National Biodiversity Network, and supported by the Notts Ecological and Geological Data Partnership formed from partners within the local authority and nature conservation world. Data in support of the site designations are held at the NBGRC, Natural History Museum, Wollaton Hall, Nottingham. Where a site crosses the boundary between adjacent local authorities, the site will be duplicated for each local authority.
