Parish biodiversity audits aim to provide basic information on the wildlife and habitats found within each parish, and suggest ideas for local action which can contribute to nature conservation on a wider scale. Initially produced in 2015, these updated audits recognise the new biodiversity infor­mation that has been generated by the individuals and groups that have participated in the project.
