Document Library: Heathland and Acid Grassland Habitat Action Plan

Summary
This Habitat Action Plan has been prepared through consuktation with a range of organisations and specialists within the Isle of Wight BAP partnership. It was first produced in 2002 and reviewed on 2008. Heathland and Acid grassland have both been identified as priority habitats in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan. Because the extent of true lowland heath is restricted on the Island and because these two habitats tend to occur in close association and are subject to similar threats and conservation requirements, they have been combined within this single Habitat Action Plan for the Isle of Wight. The Action Plan seeks to ensure that national objectives for these two habitats are translated into effective action on the Island, taking into account local issues.
