Common Standards Monitoring continues to evolve

 

In February a seminar was held to introduce the guidance on setting and assessing conservation objectives for designated nature conservation sites. The guidance was produced by JNCC and country agencies to assist staff in undertaking site monitoring and assessment.

 

Guidance is available for a range of species, habitats and Earth science features which occur on UK protected sites.
 
Further guidance continues to be produced, and is now available on JNCC's website at www.jncc.gov.uk/csm
 
The guidance should be of value for others monitoring important wildlife sites, including non-statutory nature reserves. JNCC would be interested to receive progress reports and reviews of its use.
