Fife Coast & Countryside Trust

Fife Nature Records Centre

In order to understand, enjoy and conserve Fife’s wildlife, we need to gather and share information about all aspects of it. Fife Nature is Fife’s Local Record Centre. Our aim is to provide a quality wildlife information service for Fife by gathering and sharing details of Fife's valuable animals, plants, and habitats, including where they can be found.

We offer a reference point for wildlife information in Fife. There are numerous individuals, groups, and organisation that gather a huge variety of information. These range from members of the public watching their garden bird feeders, to large government organisations gathering information on wide networks of nature sites. We want to gather all this information together in a ‘one stop shop’, making it easier for people to get hold of and put to good use helping Fife's wildlife.

Fife Nature can provide you, your organisation, or your local community with information. If you would like to request information please contact us. There are some guidelines below (Fife Nature Information Request Factsheet) to help you understand what we can do to help. An example of the type of information we provide is also below. Information can be requested using the link below or by directly contacting us via e-mail, phone, or post.
