Biological Records Centre
A national focus in the UK for terrestrial and freshwater species recording, established in 1964. We work closely with the voluntary recording community, principally through support of national recording schemes and societies.
See our booklet reviewing the first 50 years of BRC.
The BRC is supported by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) and the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH), a not-for-profit research institute which recieves support from Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) National Capability funding. The work of BRC is a major component of the National Biodiversity Network (NBN).
