Developing guidelines for identifying Biodiversity Action Plan habitats in quarries: a feasibility study (ENRR504)

This project aims to develop a set of guidelines to allow non-specialists from the extractive industries to assess the contribution quarries make to the biodiversity of the countryside. Provisional guidelines were developed following visits to three quarries. A detailed analysis of the wildlife habitats present was carried out to determine their current and potential contribution to national and local BAP targets.
