Data Enquiries
The natural history data we hold is available to anyone with an interest in biodiversity. Use our enquiry process below to submit a request for information or email us if you're not sure what you need. We provide data to a range of users, from large commercial consultancies to small family-run ecology firms to local planning authorities, parish councils, students and community groups. Our goal is to provide tailored data products and services that are designed to help people answer the questions they have about biodiversity in their area of interest. We work with a number of data providers in the county and are constantly adding to our data holdings. We are a small team, but aim to respond to all enquiries within three days.
