Pathhead
TWIC is the Local Environmental Records Centre (LERC) for south-east & part of
central Scotland that collects, collates and disseminates information on
wildlife in our area.
TWIC is a focal point for biological recording and is working to increase our
knowledge of the terrestrial, freshwater and marine wildlife throughout our
area. We collate data from a wide range of sources and manage data on species,
habitats and designated sites.
Data from TWIC is used to support environmental decision making, education, site
management, conservation, and research. TWIC supports Local Biodiversity Action
Plan partnerships and acts as a regional node of the National Biodiversity
Network [https://nbn.org.uk/].
TWIC provides support and opportunities for recorders and wildlife observers to
develop their knowledge and skills through our training and events programme. We
inspire people to record wildlife by giving talks and attending public events
and Bioblitz.
TWIC is a not-for-profit company and Scottish Charity. Details about TWIC and
how it is governed can be found on the websites of Companies House and the
Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator. The governing Articles of TWIC
