EcoRecord
EcoRecord is the Local Environmental Records Centre for Birmingham and the Black Country, one of a network of Local Environmental Records Centres that cover the whole of the UK.
EcoRecord is a not-for-profit service run in partnership for the public benefit.
We collect, manage, interpret and disseminate information of known quality relating to the wildlife, wildlife sites and habitats of the Birmingham and the Black Country area (Birmingham, Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton).
Birmingham and the Black Country covers an area of approximately 625 square kilometres (241 square miles) and is a predominantly urban area with a rich industrial heritage located at the heart of the English Midlands.
Birmingham and the Black Country is home to a rich variety of wildlife inhabiting a landscape ranging in character from ancient countryside to modern urban features.
Good quality ecological information is the key to identifying and understanding, and therefore, helping to conserve this unique range of habitats and species that call the urban landscape their home.
