Get involved
There are a number of ways that you can get involved. One of the most important ways is to send in your wildlife sightings to TWIC. These can range from ad hoc records to dedicated monitoring work over a number of survey seasons. The beauty about recording is anyone can contribute and there is something for all levels of experience. Take a look below at what you can do.
Hedgehog Survey
The Wildlife Information Centre holds very limited data on the distribution of hedgehogs across the Lothians and Scottish Borders. By launching a survey of hedgehogs and inviting everyone to send in details of all their hedgehog sightings TWIC hopes to develop a clear picture of the status of the hedgehog in our region. We will be able to develop a baseline to monitor what is happening to hedgehogs in the future.

Scottish Borders Habitat Data
The Scottish Borders Habitat data has been derived from the analysis of aerial photographs. This dataset is an extremely valuable resource for the people of the Borders as it is the first time that we have had access to a proper understanding about what wildlife habitats we have and where they are found.
We need volunteers who can go out and visit sites and compare the information held in the Scottish Borders Habitat dataset with what they find on the ground. To find out more about this click here.
