What are SWT's policies?

What does Scottish Wildlife Trust (SWT) think about fish farming? Are we against genetically modified crops? Do we allow shooting on our reserves? Do we support wind energy?

As a leading conservation body, SWT shares its views on often contentious and emotive issues through policies developed using expertise and input from across the organisation. Each policy is approved by SWT Council before being adopted.
