The Wildlife Trusts - Scottish Wildlife Trust Nature Reserves

This dataset contains the boundaries of nature reserve sites managed by Scottish Wildlife Trust in Scotland UK. The sites included have been reviewed and approved for public sharing. The dataset represents a subset of all Scottish Wildlife Trust reserves; additional sites may exist but are not included where they are considered private or sensitive and have therefore been withheld from public release. The boundaries are provided for conservation reporting, spatial analysis, and informational purposes. A Wildlife Trust nature reserve is a legally protected area of land that a local Wildlife Trust manages in the United Kingdom (and its territories) specifically to safeguard habitats and species, restore ecological processes, and provide opportunities for people to experience nature responsibly. It is designated because of its particular wildlife value, managed according to clear conservation objectives, and maintained for the long term benefit of biodiversity and local communities.
