HBRG was founded in 1986, with five aims:
- To co-ordinate and stimulate biological recording in the Highland Region, acting as a focus for the activities, record
centres, recorders and interested individuals in this area - To act as an information channel/network for enquirers and users of biological data (within the limits of any agreed
confidentiality) - To co-operate on joint ventures such as publications (such as annual reports ), publicity and special projects.
- To maintain a directory of local specialists and recorders.
- To facilitate the transfer of data to and from National Recording schemes.
