The 'Local Wildlife Sites' seem to be more wide-ranging than the Wildlife Trust's own sites, they appear to be 'important' green areas throughout the area. https://data.gov.uk/search?q=Local+Wildlife+Sites&filters%5Bpublisher%5D=&filters%5Btopic%5D=&filters%5Bformat%5D=&sort=best lists a number of areas.
