	SCOTTISH NATURAL HERITAGE
		Scottish Natural Heritage has prepared a suite of publications to guide the future management of the natural heritage towards 2025, within the wider context of sustainable development.
		SNH will use this initiative, called Natural Heritage Futures, to inform its own priorities and as a basis for further work with partner organisations.
		Natural Heritage Futures aims to stimulate the wider debate necessary to establish a broad vision for sustainable development in Scotland, and to translate it into action.

		Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) believes public bodies, which own land should set an example of best practice in the stewardship and sustainable management of that land, and that this should involve and secure benefits for local communities as well as national interests.
		SNH as a landowner has several kinds of relationships with the local community – neighbour, employer, provider of a facility, and staff as residents in the community.
		SNH operates in a devolved manner, delegating decision making to the local level within the organisation to encourage and assist the organisation to be accessible, sensitive and responsive to local needs and circumstances.

	Long-term Effects of Chemicals in the Environment
		Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) was established under the Natural Heritage (Scotland) Act 1991 to secure the conservation and enhancement of the natural heritage of Scotland.
		SNH is, therefore, replying with regard to the known and suspected effects of such chemicals on habitats and species within Scotland.
		Whilst SNH believes that there is some monitoring of the content of sewage sludge, it appears that monitoring for endocrine disrupting substances is not covered by the regulations for disposing of sewage sludge to land.

		Ancient woodland is one of the great glories of our natural heritage; they are places of inordinate beauty, reservoirs of evidence for environmental change, archaeology and economic history.
		SNH Natural Heritage Futures: Forests and Woodlands 2002 notes that 'A large proportion of Scotland's biodiversity is associated with tree cover and this is particularly true of native and mature woodlands.
		The Scottish Executive is a signatory to the UKFPA and is therefore committed to the ‘establishment and management of protected areas, to ensure that all ancient woodland is adequately protected’.

	CON-servation?
		Far from protecting Scotland's natural heritage, Scottish Natural Heritage is systematically destroying it by promoting rural Scotland as a nature playground where everyman and his car is invited.
		Scotland’s natural heritage is not national parks, visitor attractions, car parks, or formal footpaths through nature reserves.
		If SNH wish to conserve our natural heritage and the planet's natural resources for generations to come, they should be promoting a concept of reducing man's impact on the environment - not encouraging it.
