Environmental Management
Understanding what biodiversity exists across Suffolk's land and built environment is the first step towards managing it effectively. SBIS data supports green infrastructure planning, habitat connectivity, climate resilience, and the day-to-day management of land and buildings, helping organisations and communities make evidence-led decisions that deliver lasting environmental benefit. This section provides practical guidance for land managers, public bodies, communities, and anyone looking to take positive action for nature.
Land and Building Management: Practical guidance and case studies for organisations managing land and buildings for biodiversity. SBIS data can help identify what species and habitats are present, informing management plans and stewardship scheme applications.
