Essex Wildlife Trust Biological Records Centre has recently secured funding from the Environment Agency to digitise historic river corridor data for Essex and make it available to others. This builds on our previous work to digitise old National Rivers Authority data and adds to our knowledge of the character of river catchments in Essex.
Essex Wildlife Trust Biological Records Centre has recently been working with other records centres in the East of England region to map and survey known orchard sites as part of a three year lottery funded project. The first phase of the Orchards East project involved mapping historic orchard sites from the 2nd Edition Ordnance Survey maps of the early 20th Century. In total over 4,000 historic orchard sites were identified in Essex.
