Biodiversity Opportunities in Rushcliffe identified

A report identifying the opportunities to enhance the biodiversity of Rushcliffe has recently been produced by the Nottinghamshire Biodiversity Action Group partnership, with funding from Rushcliffe Borough Council.  The report includes a series of maps that indicating how habitats within the borough are currently connected together and identifies opportunities that are present to help to enhance existing sites and to increase habitat connectivity.

This is the result of two and a half years hard work by the partnership that has involved stakeholders from across the Rushcliffe area. The Rushcliffe Biodiversity report is available online.
