Yorkshire and the Hurnber Ecological Data Trust Trustees, Report (continued) For The Year Ended 31 March 2025 Main Achievements Financial year 2024-2025 was the final year of ihe current Siraiegic Plan. during whbch staff and Irustees developed Lhe YHEDT 2025-2030 Strategic Plan. This will be operationalised over the next five years and will enable its operating function, NEYEDC. to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing working environment. Data Dellvery The core function of NEYEDC 15 to support decision-making in conservation, land management and sustainable development through the provision of ecological Information. Thls ¥vork is funded by a handlin9 charge levied on commercial organisations for carrying out ecological data searche5 on their behalf. This is undertaken on an at-cost basis. so there is no surplus to fund other activities. ReqLtests for data from the publlc, education. academla anL1 the volunteer naturalist communlty are completed free of charge, in pursuit of YHEDT'S charitable functions. NEYEDC handled 908 ecologÈeal data searches during the 2024-2025 financial year,. a 2. 10/0 increase on the previous year's total. Over 80 of the ecological data searches were undertaken free of charge, benefitting local interest groups, stu(ient projocts and national recording schomes Each year NEYEDC aims to develop new data products that can be used to support different clients. In 2024.2025 maps of important grassland fungi sites and short Local Wildlife Site Citations ivere added to data searches and collaboration with parish counclls led to the creation of 'Parish Profiles. with information tailored ro a non-expert user that parishes can use to develop biodiver51ty audits. Partnership Working Following on from the previous financial year, NEYEDC conlinued to support local authority partners on the technical elements, Including mappingi of bolh Ihe Hull and East Yorkshire and North Yorkshire and York Local Nature Recovery Strategies (LNRSI. LNRS are a spatial planning tool designed to help restore and enhance biodiversity and nature across England. They are one element of the UK Government's Environment Act 202 1, aiming to reverse the decllne in wlldllfe and support sustainable land use, The output5 of the LNRS development process are a locally produced plan and map to help guide nature recovery efforts in a targeted, strategic, and coordinated way. It helps ensure that actions to improve nature, like habltat restoration. tree plarhting, or watercourse management. are undertaken where they wlll have the most benefit. Tlie 10-year rolling programme of Local Wildlife Sites in East yorkshi and North Yorkshire enlered Ils second year, with over 60 sites receiving an up-lo-date habitat and botanical survey. This not only improves the Local Wildlife sites evidence base but ensure5 rhar the system Is robust and fit for purpose by supporting the planning process of two local èuihorltv partners: East Riding of Yorkshire Council and North Yorkshire Counctl. Ongoing partnership working with Natural England to update the Ancient Woodland Inventory In North 8n(J East Yorkshire continued, comparing the Long-established Woodland maps produced by NEYEDC in earller phases of the project, i¥ith the current Ancient Woodland Inventory to mèke a comprehensive and precise list of potential changes. This project will continue for another year. looking at additional Information sources from local archives and by ground-truthing some woodlands for their historlcal features. Working in parinL)rshJp wilh local charity Si Nicks. who are based In York, provided an exciLing opportunity to ulilise NEYEDC'S expertise in species data management and analysis, whilst contributing toward5 conservation eTforts of a local celebrlty species, the Tansy Beeiie. NEYEDC collated 10 years of Tènsy plant and Tansy Beeile data collected along the River Ouse by the Tansy Beetle Action Group, and alon9side other existing datasets, to investigate the environmental factors that may Influence Tansy 8eetle hèbitat suitability. Local Recording Community An important part of the charitable function of YHEDT is to SLJPPOrt the local recording community, from individuals recording wildlife lo local commvnyty groups or local natural history societies. This can be through lendin9 field kit, like the loan of camera traps to Sheriff Hutton Nature Group to enable their hedgehog recordlng project, or supporting groups to collect, collate and share specie5 records like with the Yorkshire intertidal recording group along the East coast. One of the main v4ays NEYEDC svpports the local recording community Is through providing technical expertise, especially mèpping of habitat and species data, or making records easily accessible and available onllne. During 2024 NEYEDC iYa5 asked to supporl a local natural hisLorian to combine breeding bird records from field margins wilh arable field crop-type information and make them available as an interactive map. This enabled palterns in breeding bird activity against crop type to be investigared. Comrnunlcations and Outreach NEYEDC undertakes public outreach every year on behalf of YHEDT. 2024 was the second year that NEYEDC led the organi5ation of the Hull City Nature Challenge {CNC), an event Whe citÉes all over the world record wildlilÈ during a set tlme period.
