The Inner Forth Futurescape is an exciting and ambitious project working across 2000ha of the Inner Forth floodplain between Stirling and Blacknesss. We have built strong partnerships with local authorities, NGOs, land managers and community groups, all working towards a shared vision to create a sustainable future for the wildlife and people of the Inner Forth landscape. We have created new wetland habitat and planned what would be the biggest managed realignment in Scotland. Furthermore, we have also engaged the local population in the issue of flood risk management and land use change through providing more access to the wetland habitats of the Forth, and encouraging schools to explore their local landscape.
This project therefore represents a successful landscape scale conservation project in action and demonstrates what can be achieved when strong partnerships are established. Our poster presentation will highlight several projects which have been taken forward and what the next steps are to take the Inner Forth project forward.
