Summary

This dataset was created for the Welsh Information for Nature Bases Solution or WINS project (previously known as SCCAN) to identify opportunities to carry out land management interventions to increase ecosystem service delivery in a number of key policy areas.

There is an accompanying User Guide to assist in the use of these datasets. A full list of datasets used and data limitations can be found in the project technical report.

What the map shows: The map shows the area split into seven separate catchment zones, in which different types of NFM intervention can be used to achieve benefits.

The catchment zones are: floodplains in valley bottom areas; floodplains in the mid-reaches; gentle and steeply sloping mid-reaches; floodplains in the headwaters regions, as well as gently and steeply sloping headwater regions.
