Staffordshire Ecological Record

Staffordshire Ecological Record (SER) is the Biological and Geological Records Centre covering the modern county of Staffordshire. It holds records of plants and animals seen in the county from a wide variety of sources including Staffordshire Wildlife Trust, West Midland Bird Club, North Staffordshire Field Club, most of the local recording groups and most importantly the general public. Its database now holds almost 1.5 million records!

SER is pleased to offer this information to anyone interested in the county's wildlife and the following is currently offered:

• Distribution maps for species - many are available online at atlas.staffs-ecology.org.uk
• Species lists for sites, or areas, either full or just protected and important species
• Information on protected sites
• Information on habitats throughout the county
• A variety of other analyses

A charge may be made for these products, however, enquiries from general public, amateur naturalists and education are normally free of charge.
