Our Mission Statement:
Working with Scotland’s people
to care for our natural heritage

Our aim:
Scotland’s natural heritage is a local, national and gobal asset. We promote its care and improvement, its responsible enjoyment, its greater understanding and appreciation and its sustainable use, now and for future generations.

Our operating principles:
We work in partnership, by co-operation, negotiation and consensus, where possible with all relevant interests in Scotland: public, private and voluntary organisations and individuals. We operate in a devolved manner, delegating decision making to the local level within the organisation to encourage and assist SNH to be accessible, sensitive and responsive to local needs and circumstances.

We operate in an open and accountable manner in all our activities.
