Talbot Green
South East Wales Biodiversity Records Centre (SEWBReC) is the Local
Environmental Records Centre for the collation, management and dissemination of
biodiversity data for Gwent and Glamorgan. Our aim is to make appropriate local
biodiversity information available to all those who need it, to help ensure that
decisions which affect local biodiversity are made using the best available
data. We achieve this aim by: Supporting the local biological recording
community and helping them to manage and mobilise the wealth of information they
gather; Working with a wide range of organisations to collate and computerise
the data they hold; Collating and managing these diverse data sets in a central
location; and Delivering a range of innovative and tailored biodiversity
information products and services to meet the needs of our users. SEWBReC covers
the vice-counties of Gwent (VC35, aka Monmouthshire) and Glamorgan (VC41). Our
Unitary Authorities are: Blaenau-Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Cardiff, Merthyr
Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Neath Port Talbot, Newport, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Swansea,
Torfaen and Vale of Glamorgan*. *We follow the border of the Brecon Beacons
National Park, so some of these areas are cropped; please use the Find a LERC
tool if you are unsure whether you / your project falls within the SEWBReC area.
