Best Value and Biodiversity in Scotland: A HANDBOOK OF GOOD PRACTICE FOR PUBLIC BODIES

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Many thanks to those from the Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP) Network, and from your LBAP partnerships, who have helped supply so many of the case studies. Thanks to Forward Scotland for case studies, and to those Local Authorities who have again supplied case studies, but have also explained the intricacies of what best value means on the ground.
