UK Habitat Action Plans

Some habitats which are contained within a single habitat action plan in Shropshire are broken into several divisions nationally. The UK equivalent habitats are shown each with a link to the related UK habitat action plan.

Some Shropshire BAP habitats do not currently have a UK equivalent though in most cases an equivalent habitat was added to the UK BAP list in the 2008 review and a UK plan will be produced during 2009.

Latest Progress

The latest progress for an action plan can be found by following the link to the BARS website. If there is no progress reported on BARS you can contact the Biodiversity Officer at Natural.environment@shropshire.gov.uk

Reviews and Updates of Shropshire Habitat Action Plans

Some of the action plans listed below were produced in 2002 or 2006 and are awaiting review. Updates are produced by a member of the Shropshire Biodiversity Partnership and are agreed by the steering group.
