Welcome to SNHi - Scottish Natural Heritage's Information service

Use SNHi to find out more about the natural heritage - near you and across Scotland. SNH has collected data and information on many aspects of Scotland's environment - on species, habitats, special sites (Sites of Special Scientific Interest, National Nature Reserves, Special Protection Areas etc.), landscapes, wild land, access, recreation, geology and landforms. The following applications have been developed to allow easy access to the information you may want to view and download.

There are many new developments planned for this information service, so keep watching this space!
