#LC Loch Lomond & The Trossachs Landscape Connections: Restoring our Woodland Mosaic

Across Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park there is a shared vision for a resilient living network where nature and people thrive.?However, whilst our natural heritage inspires people worldwide, even here, nature is under threat.? Our Landscape Connections Initiative will restore the globally threatened and culturally iconic woodland mosaic at the heart of the National Park. Temperate rainforest, montane scrub, ancient pinewoods and cultural woodlands form one of the most biodiverse landscapes in the UK.?? Within an hour for 50% of Scotland’s population, our new restoration zone will protect and enhance this woodland mosaic and connect it to a wider more resilient nature network covering half the Park’s area.? Central to this Initiative will be more empowered communities, landowners, businesses and visitors sharing nature restoration benefits and ensuring a healthy future for our species and habitats, and a lasting legacy of skills, training, jobs and inspiring experiences.
