Wildlife Heritage Site Survey

We have received a letter from the Environmental Records Centre asking if they can carry out a Wildlife Heritage Site survey of part of our garden.

Whilst I am very pleased about this, I do have some reservations. I know quite a few of you are involved in environmental work so thought you may be able to answer some of my questions.

Can anyone tell me what they will be looking for ("ecological survey" covers a huge range of topics), how they will do it and how long it is likely to take?

Although I would appreciate their professional advice about managing the garden for wildlife, I am concerned about any criticism we may receive about anything we may or may not have already done to the garden.

Should we be concerned about who else would be able to get their hands on this data?

Any other pros or cons?

Thanks,

Jenny
