Guidance for projects awarded grants from the National Lottery Heritage Fund

Projects that are awarded grants from the National Lottery Heritage Fund must ensure that any species and habitat records collected during the project are shared with the NBN Atlas and/or the Local Environmental Records Centre (LERC).  This is to make sure that the data is easily accessible and useable.

If previous or current grantees have any questions on how to collate, prepare and/or share their species and habitat records please contact the NBN Trust on data@nbnatlas.org or ALERC, which is the Association of Local Environmental Records Centres.

Organisations with limited data management resources are encouraged to contact the NBN Trust or ALERC for advice and support at any point during their project.

The NBN Trust has guidance and a template for sharing records on the NBN Atlas.
