This dataset comprises the boundaries of Ancient Woodland sites in Wales. Each site is categorised as either Ancient Semi Natural Woodland (ASNW), Restored Ancient Woodland Site (RAWS), Plantation on Ancient Woodland Site (PAWS) or Ancient Woodland Site of Unknown Category (AWSU). Initially all woods greater than 2 ha shown on the Ordnance Survey (OS) 1:25 000 1st Series maps surveyed between

These data identify 10x10m, 100x100m and 1000x1000m areas where a Threatened Lichen has been recorded on Ash. The dataset is designed to allow land managers to rapidly identify whether they need to consider rare lichens when working with Ash trees, especially if they are considering felling a tree because of Ash Dieback

The Better Woodlands for Wales (BWW) grant scheme ran from 2006 until the introduction of the Glastir Woodland Creation Grant scheme in 2010/11. BWW provided aid to land managers to achieve forest policy objectives, including the creation of new woodlands, and management of existing woodlands to secure a range of beneficial environmental and social amenity outcomes.

Anyone wishing to fell trees must ensure that a licence or permission under a grant scheme has been issued by Natural Resources Wales (NRW) before any felling is carried out or that one of the exceptions apply. The applicant would normally need to get permission from the NRW to fell growing trees. This is usually given in a Felling Licence or an approval under a Dedication Scheme.This dataset

Site hosted by the Forestry Commission, provides information relating to forestry research across the UK.

The on-line viewer provides a general guide to land managers, and aims to identify areas of Wales which are most suited to new woodland creation using Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

A score for woodland creation is shown at a medium scale in green, highlighting the best opportunities at a strategic level for new woodland creation, which is based on data identified to best meet the

This data layer was compiled by the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI) and uses 1km grid squares of point source data, as well as road transport data. These inputs are compiled, averaged, and mapped across the UK, and are then split by source category and further split by pollutant. The specific layer used in this project is ‘Total emissions <PM10’, which contains

NRW woodland and grassland ecologists used the Habitat Survey of Wales Phase 1 digital data; Lowland Grassland Survey of Wales Phase 2 digital data; Lowland Peatland Survey of Wales Phase 2 Features data; Calaminarian Grassland Annex 1 habitat map; Glastir Grassland Fungi data; and Chough woodland areas to identify areas of sensitivity to woodland creation. These datasets include land-cover types

This data contains Forestry Commission's previous survey, the National Inventory of Woodland & Trees, and includes spatial data for the whole of Great Britain. This dataset shows all areas of woodland over 2ha in Great Britain and the Interpreted forest type (IFT) of those woodlands. The dataset includes FC new planting and new Woodland Grant Schemes as of 31st March 2002.

This layer shows the external legal boundaries of land Natural Resources Wales (NRW) Foresty ownership. It does not show the internal deed boundaries.  It has been designed to: enable the Mapping & Geographic Information Units to interrogate and maintain the NRW Forestry land holdings records, provide land ownership data to staff with GIS, produce update polygons to maintain legal

The Sub-Compartment Database (SCDB) is a physical description of the land that the NRW manages. The SCDB is our authoritative data source, giving us information for recording, monitoring, analysis and reporting. Through this it supports decision-making on the whole of the NRW woodland estate. Information from the Inventory is used by NRW, wider government, industry and the public for economic,

Unified Peat Map of Wales is based on a combination of the following layers:

          Forestry Commission survey peats

          Lowland peat survey (NRW)

This spatial dataset relates to Phase 1 (2006) and consists of 4 individual layers, being Points (individual trees), polygons (groups of trees), urban extents (the extent of the study areas) and land use classifications. The technical report shows what is covered in each Phase, and provides more detail on the methodology behind the different layers in the dataset. This data was captured using

This spatial dataset relates to Phase 2 (2009) of Urban Tree Cover and consists of 4 individual layers, being Points (individual trees), polygons (groups of trees), Land Categories and urban extents (the extent of the study areas). The technical report shows what is covered in each Phase, and provides more detail on the methodology behind the different layers in

This spatial dataset relates to Phase 3 (2013) of Urban Tree Cover and consists of 3 individual layers, being Points (individual trees), polygons (groups of trees) and urban extents (the extent of the study areas). Unlike Phase 1 and 2 land use classifications were not created for phase 3. The technical report shows what is covered in each Phase, and provides more detail

WMS data, work in progress

The Woodland Grant Scheme (WGS) provided incentives for people to create and manage woodlands on sites all over Wales. The scheme was run in 3 phases with the last phase ending in 2006. This record covers all of the schemes, detailed metadata for data for each of the schemes can be found in separate entries on the NRW Metadata catalogue (metadata URI 100821, 100822, 100829).

Working with Natural Processes (WWNP) Floodplain Reconnection Potential is our best estimate of locations where it may be possible to establish reconnection between a watercourse and its natural floodplain, especially during high flows. The dataset is designed to support signposting of areas where there is currently poor connectivity such that flood waters are constrained to the channel and flood

Working with Natural Processes (WWNP) Floodplain Woodland Planting Potential is our best estimate of locations where tree planting on the floodplain may be possible, and effective to attenuate flooding. The dataset is designed to support signposting of areas of floodplain not already wooded.

The information provided is largely based on modelled data and open constraints data, and is therefore

Working with Natural Processes (WWNP) Riparian Woodland Potential is our best estimate of locations where tree planting may be possible on smaller floodplains close to flow pathways, and effective to attenuate flooding. The dataset is designed to support signposting of riparian areas not already wooded. The dataset is based upon a 50m buffer of available OS Open Data river networks. A set of open

Runoff Attenuation Features Potential is our best estimate of locations of high flow accumulation across the land surface or in smaller channels, where it may be possible to temporarily store water and attenuate flooding during high flows. The dataset is designed to support signposting of areas to target enhanced storage. It is based upon the Risk of Flooding from Surface Water datasets and

Working with Natural Processes (WWNP) Wider Catchment Woodland Potential is our best estimate of locations where there are slowly permeable soils, where scrub and tree planting may be most effective to increase infiltration and hydrological losses. The dataset is designed to support signposting of areas not already wooded.

This dataset comprises a range of land cover types where the woodland potential layers have been masked, owing to existing woodland, watercourses, peat, roads, rail and urban areas. Other constraints data, such as protected habitats and high grade agricultural land, should also be considered.

Locations identified may have more recent land use change than available at the time of publication.
