The Wildlife Information Centre (TWIC) conducts various excursions to sites across the Lothians and Borders in order to collect Biodiversity data.

This dataset includes data collected by Lothians Wildlife Information Centre (LWIC) from 1995-2009, Scottish Borders Biological Records Centre (SBBRC) Recorders Group up to 2009 and TWIC from 2009 to the present day. Various species groups are recorded, with a special emphasis on vascular plants.

Purpose

The dataset was used to collect information from around the area, and later on was used to help get data to help with Local Biodiversity Site assessments.
