This dataset is based on recent records of rare arable plants (2000 to 2017) and the field in which they occur. The data highlights land where species within Section 7 of the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 and Red Data Book™ (RDB) species occur or have occurred recently (populations can survive in seed banks for considerable periods). These are some of Wales’ most vulnerable plant species with many threatened with extinction over the last couple of decades. Planting trees on such sites would destroy the arable plant species present. These areas should be excluded from new planting proposals, or, if there is strong evidence for error, contact NRW. See GN002 for more details.
