Local Communities Invited to Help Shape Nature Networks in Perth and Kinross
Perth and Kinross Council, in partnership with Perth and Kinross Countryside Trust, is launching a series of public events to involve local communities in shaping the regions nature networks. The nature networks map is designed to highlight and connect key nature-rich sites across the region. The goal is to create a resilience network of habitats that allows wildlife to thrive and move across the landscape more effectively.
Local knowledge is vitally important in building a clearer picture of nature-rich sites across Perth and Kinross. Landowners, farmers, conservation groups, and community members with local knowledge of nature sites are encouraged to take part.
The council, along with PKCT are hosting three in-person sessions and one online session, all running from 7pm to 8:30 pm.
To register for one of the events, please use the links below:
- Coupar Angus Tuesday 25th March 2025 7pm - 8:30pm
- Birnam Tuesday 1st April 2025 7pm - 8:30pm
- Perth Thursday 3rd April 2025 7pm to 8:30pm
- Online Tuesday 8th April 2025 7pm - 8:30pm
All the meeting options are on PKCT's events webpage.
