The way the Local Biodiversity Record Centre is run is under review from this week (26 July)

Due to a vacant post, the Council and partner organisations involved in natural heritage management and protection are looking at how the Centre can be taken forward in conjunction with changes to national biodiversity recording.

We hope in the next few months to have an update on this service but unfortunately from this week, no new records will be able to be entered and retrieved from the database.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. For any questions and enquiries please email biodiversity@orkney.gov.uk
