Partnerships for a greener future
Our Forest and Peatland partnership programme brings together our mission as a University to make the world a better place with our goal to be net zero carbon by 2040.
As well as managing our own sites, the programme is working with landowners across Scotland to create woodland and restore peatland.
What we mean by partnerships
We are working with a range of partners that include landowners, land management organisations and community groups across Scotland. Each long-term partnership is aimed at conserving and revitalising Scottish ecosystems, including forests and peatlands, which play a vital role in carbon sequestration and enhancing biodiversity.
Each partnership is committed to implementing sustainable practices and community engagement to restore and preserve these natural landscapes.
We’ll work with our partners to grow forests and restore peatlands via negotiated payments, to help them transition their land and support climate mitigation over 50 years of decarbonisation.
By working together, we aim to combat climate change, enhance ecosystem resilience, and ensure a greener, healthier planet for future generations. From peatland restoration in Ross-shire, to forest conservation initiatives throughout Scotland, learn about the multiple benefits of each one by clicking on our partner pages below.
