Biological Records Centre
About HBRC
Herefordshire Biological Records Centre (HBRC) is the Local Biological Records Centre for the County of Herefordshire.
A Biological Records Centre is defined as –
“a not-for-profit service run in partnership for the public benefit, which collects, collates manages and disseminates information of known quality relating to wildlife, wildlife sites and habitats of a defined geographical area”.
HBRC’s main aim is to provide as wide access as is possible to both species and habitat records for the County of Herefordshire whilst at the same time assisting in the protection of those same species and habitats.
HBRC’s database currently holds over 300,000 records.
These records are used to inform, educate and to provide real data upon which environmentalists, ecologists and planners, and other individuals and organisations can base decisions.
HBRC deals with all data for Herefordshire’s wildlife, biodiversity, nature, habitats and wildlife sites.
We also aim to provide support for biological recording and for biological recorders within the County of Herefordshire.
The data held by HBRC is also used in Regional and National Projects helping to conserve biodiversity on a larger scale.
