Welcome
Welcome to the website of the Biodiversity Information Service for Powys and Brecon Beacons National Park (BIS). Through this website we aim keep you up to date on the activities and work of BIS, including information on our services, data holdings, and eventually access to search the BIS database. It will act as local biological recording resource with news of local wildlife recording activities and linking to local and national recording websites. Please contact us if you have any comments or features you would like to see.
Montgomeryshire Recording Day - Saturday 8th Aug (10am-4pm) -
Submitted by janeti on Wed, 01/07/2009 - 11:18.Provisional details
Y Fan (SN94..89..)– old lead mine was subject to reclamation several years ago and is a lovely site with a mosaic of grassland, small young woodland and scrub. There are a couple of reedbed ponds and remains of industrial mine workings. There are several records from the site 20-25 years ago but nothing recent.
We hope that many of the recorders will be interested in attending and providing the landowners with records that will help with future management of these sites.

Recording form and data holding pages
As some of you have noticed, we have lost the online-recording form and the data holdings pages that were on our previous web site(s). These will be replaced with a new web app.
The underlying web site technology has changed to take advantage of ready made content management systems - this site - as well as a new development tool to create flash based web applications.
