Glossary

The MEnD Glossary provides brief definitions and explanations of terms used across the website. 

Our glossary includes specific habitat enhancement terms. If you cannot find the term you are looking for, please email us so we can consider adding it to the glossary. 

Definitions are based on the latest thinking by government agencies and devolved administrations, with thanks to their work in this sector.
