Natural Resources Wales (NRW) Licence Return Dataset

This dataset consists of former Countryside Council for Wales' (CCW) collation of licence return data for work carried out affecting various species across Wales. These species include, but are not limited to plants, amphibian and reptiles, badger, bat, otter and dormouse. The purpose of this data capture was to: - add to the picture of species distributions in Wales - collect relevant data in one place, and - mobilise records which may not otherwise be available. The dataset does not represent a systematic survey coverage of Wales, and is instead based upon ad hoc records collected from licence returns. Location of records is generally random, depending on the requirements of the licence holders.
