Scottish Natural Heritage – An Insider’s View

Scottish National Heritage: An Insider’s View

Roger Crofts

Paperback

Scottish National Heritage: An Insider’s View provides a unique perspective on Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), its establishment, leadership, and its relations within the public, charitable and private sectors. Too often, we fail to reflect on lessons learned in the hope of improving future leadership of organisations. This book offers insights into the issues and reflects on what has been achieved and what has gotten in the way. Roger Crofts tells his story from the inside with honesty about the challenges, opportunities and failures. He situates the establishment of SNH within the division between nature conservation and countryside management within government, and assesses the factors leading to organisational change as essential background to his story. His in-depth reflections on the mantra of ‘working in partnership’ with government and with many other bodies are as relevant today as they were over three decades ago.
