Hull and East Yorkshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy – Habitat Map
Welcome to the Hull and East Yorkshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) mapping tool. This window will guide you through how to use the tool and view the mapped measures.
The mapping has been created using the most up-to-date and high-quality data sets available. However, it's essential to verify specific actions against the actual on-site conditions, such as existing habitat, historic structures, soil, and topography, to ensure the correct habitat is established in the appropriate location.
The LNRS includes additional priorities, measures and supporting activities that are not included on this map as they were not mappable. To view the full list of measures, refer to the HEY LNRS strategy document or Appendix A.
Please note that mapped measures represent potential opportunities, and multiple measures can complement each other if mapped to the same place.
Please view this on a computer for best results, it will work on mobile but it will not be optimised.
What the LNRS Habitat Map Shows at start up?
HEY LNRS Boundary - The area encompassed by the strategy
HEY LNRS Sub-Areas - Parts of the LNRS described in the HEY LNRS Strategy
HEY LNRS Areas of Particular Importance for Biodiversity (APIBs) - Areas already considered by the strategy to be important for nature.
HEY LNRS Strategic Network - The area that the HEY LNRS will focus on the most. This will contain Areas that Could become important for Biodiversity (ACBs) during the lifetime of this strategy.
A legend for this information can be accessed using the button =>
What information can be turned on?
HEY LNRS Habitat Opportunities By Broad Habitat Type - These are areas where a particular habitat could be made Better, Bigger, More or More Joined Up. The darker the shade, the more opportunity exists.
These layers can be switched on and off by using this button =>
What information is available by clicking?
Navigate to a location and click the left mouse button a pop up will appear. You will need to zoom in to access information relating to measures. You will then be able to scroll through the following information: -
A summary of the habitat opportunities at that location and a pie chart illustrating that information.
The mapped measures that will enable nature recovery, described in the HEY LNRS Strategy, which have been suggested for this location.
Please note: the measures are not viewable in the map, the information is only viewable in the pop up.
How do I change the base map?
