TWIC is the Local Environmental Records Centre for south-east & central Scotland that collects, collates and disseminates information about wildlife in our area. Refer to our map below for the area we cover.

TWIC is part of a network of Local Environmental Records Centres in the UK. For more information on how TWIC is funded and run please see our About Us pages.

TWIC holds data on species, habitats and designated sites for our area. At present our database holds over 3.9 million species records. Find out how to request data here.

TWIC organises a training and events programme to support new and existing recorders. We attend events and run wildlife surveys and occasional BioBlitz events to inspire a new generation of naturalists.



An online interactive webapp that allows users to explore how many records are present in our database.

Hover your mouse over a Local Authority in the map to learn how many records are available for the highlighted area. You can also search for a town to see if it falls within our boundary.
