Botany recording at Allt Rhongyr Nature Reserve
By recording what species are present in Brecknock we can gain a better understanding of where wildlife is present and can use the data to measure how healthy our natural environment is.
What is a species record?
Records provide information on the location and status of habitats and species. A species record consists of a minimum of the ‘4 Ws’:
WHO made the observation?
WHAT species was recorded?
WHERE was the species recorded? – a place name and grid reference if possible
WHEN was the observation made?
How do I send in a species record?
Here in Brecknock there are two ways to send in a species record.
You can either
- Send a species record directly to the county recorder for that taxonomic group, or
- Send the record directly to the Local Records Centre, in Brecknock this is called 'The Biodiversity Information Service for Powys and the Brecon Beacons National Park' (BIS)
