What About Publicity?

One of the most important services that we offer you is central publicity and promotion of Scottish Biodiversity Week and your events. Last year we secured coverage in local and national press as well as on Radio.

But it's important to publicise your event locally as well. Let the local papers know about your event, put posters in community centres, libraries and shops. Look at our Publicise your Event  guide for more ideas.

If you have any other queries please contact the Biodiversity Implementation Team at bit@snh.gov.uk.
