Action across the Bath & North East Somerset area is targeted at species and habitats of greatest conservation value, delivering both national and local conservation targets. In 2004, the Partnership agreed and published a Long List which included 11 habitats and over 450 species. From this, a Short List of 11 priority species and 5 priority habitats was produced.Bath & North East Somerset specific, 3 year Action Plans are now being created for these priority Short List species and habitats and so far 3 habitat and 7 species plans have been written.
The Short List is under review and species and habitats may well be added in the future.
