Phase 1 Habitat Survey

The Phase 1 surveys date back to 1970s, when a system was devised for rapid mapping of wildlife habitats. The aim of the Phase 1 survey methodology is to provide a way to record vegetation and habitat over large areas. Each parcel of land is classified and recorded into categories such as woodland, grassland and wetland. Habitat classification is based on vegetation type.

The nature and condition of the vegetation informs the ecologist about the living and non living parts of the landscape.

From the desktop study to the site visit, where ideally every parcel of land is visited and each habitat type is mapped. There are some ninety habitat types with standard colour codes.
