Part of Nature-Based Solutions Week: Creating a Climate Ready Tayside

Join Heather Hamilton from the Highland Perthshire Community Land Trust for a guided walk around Dùn Coillich, a community-owned landscape that showcases nature restoration in practice.

This site visit offers an opportunity to explore how community land ownership can support climate resilience, biodiversity enhancement and long-term habitat recovery. Participants will learn about woodland creation, natural regeneration and landscape-scale restoration while discovering how local communities are taking action to protect and enhance their natural environment.
