Description: A site not qualifying as of national importance for the wildlife it contains (ie a SSSI) but regarded to be of local importance for wildlife, its importance being merited in a parish, district, borough or county context. Such sites are often called non-statutory wildlife sites as they do not have statutory protection like SSSIs, but are recognised in local plans. In Bucks Local Wildlife Sites have been called Sites of Importance for Nature Conservation and Biological Notification Sites.Last updated 31 Jan 2017 by Neil Fletcher following LWS Selection Panels in 2016. A selection panel of local experts, in consultation with local authorities and statutory agencies, designates the sites. Summary citations or survey reports are available for most, but not all, Local Wildlife Sites.

Description: BMERC data on Biodiversity Opportunity Areas (BOAs). BOAs are important areas for biodiversity in the county. They represent regional priority areas of opportunity for restoration and creation of Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) habitats. They represent a targeted landscape-scale approach to conserving biodiversity and the basis for an ecological network. BOAs are the focus of the Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes Biodiversity Partnership (BMKBP) for delivering Buckinghamshire's Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP).

Description: Local Nature Reserves (LNRs) are a statutory designation made under Section 21 of the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949 by principal local authorities. Parish and Town Councils can also declare LNRs but they must have the powers to do so delegated to them by a principal local authority. LNRs are for people and wildlife. They are places with wildlife or geological features that are of special interest locally. They offer people opportunities to study or learn about nature or simply to enjoy it. They range from windswept coastal headlands, ancient woodlands and flower-rich meadows to former inner city railways, long abandoned landfill sites and industrial areas now re-colonised by wildlife. They are an impressive natural resource which makes an important contribution to England's biodiversity. This national dataset is 'indicative' not 'definitive'. Definitive information can only be provided by individual local authorities and you should refer directly to their information for all purposes that require the most up to date and complete dataset.Full metadata can be viewed on data.gov.uk.There are no public access constraints to this data.

Description: Email to Jo from Vikki Teasdale (Sustainable Drainage Officer, Strategic Flood Management Team, Transport Economy Environment)I think there may be some confusion, we consider ordinary watercourses to include every river, stream, ditch, drain, cut, dike/dyke, sluice, sewer (other than a public sewer) and passage through which water flows and which does not form part of a main river. We have an interactive map on our website which may be helpful, it contains all Main Rivers and most of the ordinary watercourses. Please note that some ordinary watercourses will not be marked on the map; please assume that if the water body you’re looking at is not marked as main river, then it counts as an ordinary watercourse.
Description: Local Geological Sites (LGS) were formerly known as Regionally Important Geological and Geomorphological Sites (RIGS). They are local non-statutory sites that recognise important earth science and landscape features. The Buckinghamshire Earth Heritage Group, in consultation with local authorities, identifies these sites. The sites are selected on a local basis according to the following nationally agreed criteria:
The value of a site for educational purposes in life-long learning
The value of a site for study by both amateur and professional Earth scientists
The historical value of a site in terms of important advances in Earth science knowledge, events or human exploitation
The aesthetic value of a site in the landscape, particularly in relation to promoting public awareness and appreciation of Earth sciences.
