About SNH
Our basic philosophy is simple: we must care for and sustain
our natural heritage if we want it to sustain us.

mission.
Our task is to secure the conservation and enhancement of Scotland's unique
and precious natural heritage - the wildlife, the habitats and the landscapes
which have evolved in Scotland through the long partnership between people
and nature.

Our priorities for the next three years as documented in our Corporate
Plan 2005 - 2008
reflect both our intention to address all aspects of our wide remit and our
wish to deliver it nationally and locally in an innovative manner and (as
far as possible) integrating the constituent parts. These achievements and
plans are summarised in our Annual
Review 2005 publication. We also produce Annual
Environmental Reports.
SNH’s Boards and Committees
The SNH Board determines the objectives, strategies and policies of SNH, in
the light of SNH’s statutory obligations and guidance from the Scottish
Executive. It is supported in this work by three advisory Areas Boards covering
North, East and West Scotland, a Scientific Advisory Committee and an Audit
and Risk Management Committee.
Customer Relations Information
We keep our customer care commitments under continuous review. We use a range
of feedback mechanisms to get views from our customers, including customer
surveys, responses to consultations, open meetings, surgeries and similar
events. We very much welcome comments on how we can improve, but also recognition
when we do something well.
Diversity
SNH is actively committed to promoting diversity and equality for our
employees, the users of our services and in our role as participants in caring
for and enjoying Scotland’s natural heritage.
