Free Data Resources

BRERC data can be widely accessed free of charge through a variety of different websites. We do charge for our professional data search service - visit the About BRERC section to find out why.


BRERC Species Data Portal
Our Species Data Portal allows you to view detailed BRERC species records overlaid on background maps.


NBN Atlas
BRERC data is uploaded to the National Biodiversity Network (NBN) Atlas which collates species data from many organisations across the United Kingdom.


GBIF
The NBN in turn uploads all data to GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) for a worldwide viewpoint of species data.


Bristol Pinpoint Online Maps
Closer to home, Bristol City Council's online Pinpoint mapping service provides a wealth of information, including nature conservation data sourced directly from BRERC.


data.gov.uk
National Datasets, such as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and National Nature Reserves (NNR) can be accessed for free via the data.gov.uk portal.


ALERC
BRERC is a Local Environmental Records Centre (LERC). For more information on LERCs in the United Kingdom, visit the Association of Local Environmental Records Centre (ALERC) website.
