It promotes the standing of LERCs as the definitive source of high quality, local, capture-resolution biodiversity data to inform the decision-making process, provides representation at a national and regional level and seeks to enhance the professional standing of LERCs through its Accreditation scheme. It provides a central voice for the UK's Records Centre community and provides a support-based network of knowledge and advice for its members. ALERC achieves this through the work of its directors, staff and members - find out more about ALERCs Aims and Objectives or our specialist ALERC Working Groups.
Find Your LERCLocal Environmental Records Centres (LERCs) are not-for-profit organisations that collect, collate and manage information on the natural environment for a defined geographic area. LERCs support and collaborate with a network of experts to ensure information is robust, and make information products and services accessible to a range of audiences including decision-makers, the public, and researchers. |
LERCs each cover a defined geographical area and this is usually a County or in some cases several Counties. Each LERC supports biological recording, provides a range of data products and services and has a wealth of knowledge and contacts in their area.
