How You Can Become Involved
in helping to map Fife's Wildlife

Anyone can help by sending sightings of wildlife to the centre. Such sightings are added to our database and build up to produce the most complete picture of Fife's wildlife available. FERN can also provide survey sheets for you.

The centre is committed to providing information of the highest quality. A group of national and local experts oversee the quality of our information and all data is collected and stored in accordance with nationally agreed standards.

FERN are also able to offer a variety of services and help to the general public, organisations and commercial undertakings.
