description: This Web Map Service (WMS) offers a 1km resolution gridded dataset showing wooded areas located within riparian zones (river- and streamsides) across Great Britain. Riparian areas are defined using a 50-metre buffer applied to the CEH 1:50000 watercourse network, with wooded areas within this buffer classified accordingly. Published by the Environmental Information Data Centre, the service supports spatial analysis of woodland cover along watercourses at a national scale, and can be used for environmental monitoring, land-use planning, and habitat assessment related to riparian woodland extent in Great Britain.
