Species and habitat data are used to help make management decisions on reserves.
We carry out habitat surveys and condition assessments to better understand how our reserves are doing and collect casual species records to understand what’s there.
We believe in open access to data unless there is a good reason to restrict it. Full details of all the Trust’s species data is made available to both decision-makers and the public on the National Biodiversity Network (NBN) Atlas, with the exception of records for species listed as sensitive by Nature Scot, where access is restricted. These species, such as raptors, badgers and otters, are at risk from public disturbance and such data will only be passed on to approved persons.
All our spatial datasets, such as our reserve boundaries and National Vegetation Classification (NVC) surveys, as well as custom built applications to explore our spatial data, can be found on the Scottish Wildlife Trust Open Data Hub.

The NBN Atlas Scotland is a portal of the NBN Atlas; it collates biodiversity data from many sources and makes it readily accessible to all. It is the country’s largest collection of freely available biodiversity data!

Scottish Wildlife Trust reserve boundaries are available to download in GIS format.
Beyond our own Scottish Wildlife Trust reserves there are wildlife sites (non-designated sites of importance to wildlife). Local Records Centres (LRCs) act as custodians for wildlife site data. If you require a sites search, please contact the relevant LRC. To find your closest LRCs, please visit the Association of Local Environmental Records Centres (ALERC) locator page.
