Local level: SSNC operates throughout the country in the form of local associations. There are 270 local associations, almost one in each municipality.
These local associations are independent and engaged in their own various activities, such as courses, excursions, debates and so on. They often seek to influence local environmental efforts in their municipalities. The local associations decide upon their own activities, and their members elect representatives to the local association board at a general meeting.
Regional level: SSNC has 24 county associations. They work with county-wide environmental issues, such as serving as an advisory body during road construction or organising courses and training. The board of a county association is elected by delegates from the local associations in the county. At the county general meetings, each local association is able to present proposals for future activities.
SSNC also has ten regional offices offering support and coordinating the activities of the local and county associations.

National level: SSNC has a national board elected by delegates from the local and county associations at a national general meeting. This national general meeting is SSNC’s highest decision-making body and also sets the association’s operational goals.
The national board appoints a secretary-general to serve as the head of the association’s main office and its staff. The main office works with the areas having been identified as priorities by SSNC, while also managing the association’s finances, membership database, the membership magazine Sveriges Natur (Swedish Nature), developing the association, communication, offering advice and many other issues concerning the association as a whole.
