Scottish Natural Heritage

It aims to

• safeguard and enhance Scotland's natural heritage, particularly its natural, genetic and scenic diversity;

• promote enjoyment of, and responsible public access to, the natural heritage in ways which do not damage it;

• encourage public support and voluntary effort for the benefit of the environment;

• promote improvement of the natural heritage in and around towns and cities, where most of Scotland's people live

"we must care for and sustain our natural heritage if we want it to sustain us. So we seek to promote the good management of the natural heritage so that we can pass it on, in a healthy and invigorated state, to succeeding generations. We seek to foster greater understanding and better practice through well-founded policies, through demonstration projects, through education and through partnerships which promote joint action."
