CEDaR Partnership
What is CEDaR?
CEDaR, or the Centre for Environmental Data and Recording, is a unique partnership between the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, National Museums Northern Ireland and the Environmental Recording Community of Northern Ireland. It was first established in Jan 1995 and has evolved through various stages to the organisation we know today. Since 2004, CEDaR's work has been closely linked to the targets contained in the Northern Ireland Biodiversity Strategy. A review in 2008 has resulted in refinement of CEDaR aim and objectives for the 10 year period, 2009-2019.
