Traditional Orchards HAP (England)

This spatial dataset describes the geographic extent and location of the UK Biodiversity Action Plan traditional orchard priority habitat in England. The data is provided as "provisional" because it is under constant review and updated as new information comes to light, and should therefore not be considered exhaustive or prescriptive. Traditional orchards are defined as sites where at least five fruit trees are present with no more than 20m between their crown edges. Traditional orchards are managed in a low intensity way with little or no chemical input.
