Welcome

Local Wildlife Sites Project

There are over 1600 Local Wildlife Sites (LoWS) in Essex and these all play a fundamental role for the long term survival of wildlife. Local Wildlife Sites, together with statutory protected areas like Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), are fundamental as they provide a vital contribution in maintaining the current levels of wildlife in Essex. The main aim of the Project is to support owners and managers to ensure that Local Wildlife Sites are protected for the future. See general information page for further details.
