Local Biodiversity Action Plans
The Lowland Derbyshire Biodiversity Action Plan covers the remainder of Derbyshire outside the area covered by the Peak District LBAP. There is no physical overlap between the two LBAPs. The Lowland Derbyshire LBAP does, however, include the area of Derbyshire inside the National Forest. It seeks to conserve and enhance Lowland Derbyshire's existing wildlife and to redress past losses through habitat conservation, restoration, recreation and targeted action for priority species. The action plans will be implemented through the Lowland Derbyshire Biodiversity Partnership and will be monitored and periodically updated and fully reviewed in 2010.
For background information download the Lowland Derbyshire Addendum 2001 produced in 2001 (  126 kb).The Lowland Derbyshire Biodiversity Action Plan should be referenced as follows:

A Delivery Plan reviewed progress up to the end of 2007 and suggested ways in which the remainer of the LBAP targets can be achieved by 2010. This document should be used to write and support funding bids for LBAP projects.
The Biodiversity Action Plan is composed of a number of Habitat and Species Action Plans. These are available below.
The Lowland Derbyshire LBAP has 11 Habitat Action Plans
Habitat Action Plans for woodland, grassland, wetland and farmland habitats have been completed and can be downloaded from the table below.

The background information documents in the table below contain information on habitat definition, basic ecology and distribution in lowland Derbyshire.
A number of Priority Species have also been indentified. The majority of these have come from the UK BAP Priority Species list. The long list below shows those UK BAP Priority species which have been recorded in Lowland Derbyshire since 1997.
Species Action Plans (SAPs) have been completed for oak polypore, water vole and white-clawed crayfish.
Please note that the Species Action Plans for Glow Worm, Otter, Grass Snake and Black Poplar which were produced as part of the Mid Derbyshire BAP in 1997 are no longer valid. The Otter SAP will be revised in due course and the other species have been included in the appendices of the appropriate habitat documents and will benefit from actions for specific habitats.
