It was recently announced that along with Cairngorms National Park, we have been awarded a share of Scottish Government’s £550,000 Nature Restoration Fund (NRF), to support projects that restore wildlife and habitats and address the twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate change.
In 2022/3 we were allocated up to £250,000 from the fund, which enabled us to deliver a programme of nature restoration projects and kick-start our ambitious Future Nature vision. This included work on key Nature Restoration Fund themes such as:
- habitat and species restoration,
- freshwater restoration, and
- control of invasive non-native species.
Projects ranged from the removal of invasive non-native trees in The Great Trossachs Forest, to support of new montane scrub development at Cashel Forest Woodland Regeneration Project.
This new funding will allow us to deliver more projects like these in 2023/4 – and also plan more strategic projects, like expanding our landscape scale effort on Invasive Species control as well as meadow management with RSPB Loch Lomond and work to bring key designated sites into favourable condition.
If you have a project that needs funding support, and will deliver on the key themes of the Nature Restoration Fund, please complete the expression of interest form and tell us about it.
