Wildlife Information Centre

Lead organisation: Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), (Non-governmental)

TWIC is the biological records centre for the Lothians, Scottish Borders, Falkirk, Clackmannanshire, Stirling and Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park that collects, collates and disseminates information about the wildlife in our area.

Policy uptake explanation

TWIC provides a wide range of data services; we routinely supply data to local authorities for screening planning applications, to consultants for preparing environmental assessments and to students, recorders and the public to inform coursework, recording efforts and general interest. For commercial requests, we charge an administrative fee to cover our costs in processing the request and to contribute to our data collation work.
