Biodiversity features
An ecological consultancy was commissioned by the Parks & Countryside service in 1994 to carry out a National Vegetation Classification (NVC) survey and this provides a good baseline on which to identify the most important habitats and plant species present. Some additional species information (birds, fungi, lichens and plants) is available from volunteer recorders via the West Yorkshire Ecology Service, and information on some grassland areas is available from site visits from DEFRA conservation officers carried out as part of their internal botanical training programme (species lists kept at The White House).
