North and East Yorkshire Ecological Data Centre (NEYEDC)

NEYEDC is the Local Environmental Record Centre for North and East Yorkshire.  We collate, manage and analyse data about species, sites and habitats from a variety of sources.  Data is incorporated into NEYEDC’s evidence base, which is used by planning authorities, developers and conservation bodies to inform decisions about land management.  We also work closely with local naturalists and societies, professional ecologists, statutory bodies and academic institutions to facilitate legitimate research and support projects in the fields of conservation and sustainable development.

NEYEDC is involved in co-ordinating the collection of new data in support of partners’ projects and to address spatial, temporal, taxonomic and functional data gaps that compromise the ability of the Centre’s evidence base to support its mission.
