Joint ventures for people and nature: final report published
Highlands Rewilding recently completed a ground-breaking project under the Facility for Investment Ready Nature in Scotland (FIRNS) programme, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund in partnership with the Scottish Government and NatureScot. Our 18-month project explored how “Community Joint Ventures” (CJVs) can link local people with the benefits of nature recovery, as a new approach to collaborative restoration.
The project aimed to co-develop business plans for community-led ventures that support or are supported by rewilding, providing useful examples for others to build on.
