The Scottish Biodiversity Forum (SBF) is a broad based, working partnership of Government, its agencies ( SNH and SEPA), local authorities, voluntary bodies, farmers, fishermen, foresters, business and scientists.
The Forum has an open membership allowing all who enjoy, manage and value our biodiversity to contribute to its future. An annual conference allows all members to meet and feed into the work of the Forum and Working Groups take this work forward.
