Berkshire Biodiversity Opportunity Areas (BOAs)

These have been defined and published by the Berkshire Local Nature Partnership. The aim of identifying such areas was to protect biodiversity and reverse past losses by enlarging, buffering and reconnecting priority habitats, through the targeted establishment of new wildlife-rich areas, in optimum areas of the county. This is very closely linked to the aim of the local nature recovery strategies. BOAs, along with other information, will be used to help inform potential recovery sites on the Local Habitat Map.
