Highlands Rewilding Beldorney CommunityLet's introduce you to the team
The Highlands Rewilding Community Team works closely with our Estate Managers and Science Team to build relationships and explore opportunities for partnership, support the delivery of events and volunteering on our sites and to communicate our land management and activities locally. We do so to ensure we involve people locally in our nature restoration work and to identify opportunities to contribute to community benefit in partnership with others. To carry out and enhance our work with communities, we have partnered with a group of both local and UK-wide organisations and institutions, to ensure we connect in appropriately with existing efforts locally and learn from wider expertise in the field of community engagement. This includes a collaboration with the University of Oxford's Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery who are supporting the development of our community engagement approach including our methods, principles and governance and decisionmaking arrangements.
