WHAT WE DO

RECORD is the Local Environmental Records Centre (LERC) for Cheshire, Halton, Warrington and Wirral.

We are a wildlife conservation organisation and our main role is to collect and manage information on the natural environment from this area. Most of this information comes in the form of biological records, but we also hold information on habitats. We aim to make this information available to those who need it locally so that it can contribute to understanding of local biodiversity and ultimately to the protection of species and habitats.

Our work is supported and underpinned by the help of volunteers and a wide network of partner organisations, experts and wildlife recorders across the region. We’re always really keen to encourage and help others to connect with the natural world, get involved with recording and gain knowledge of species identification and biology. We are a member of The Association of Local Environmental Records Centres (ALERC).

Our mission is to:

Further the appreciation, understanding and protection of the Cheshire region’s wildlife and habitats.

We aim to:

Efficiently collect, manage and analyse wildlife data from the region, providing access to those who need it for conservation and decision making
Support wildlife recorders of all abilities in the local area by providing advice and information, and facilitating networking and connections amongst the community
Continually improve the data we hold by actively encouraging recording, and maintaining and strengthening the data we have already
Make wildlife recording accessible and attractive to all, for the benefit of both people and the environment
Work with partner organisations to achieve our aims and bring the greatest benefit to local conservation
