The launch of the Scottish Government’s Nature Restoration Fund in Spring 2021 provided an opportunity for the Partnership to work with Angus landowners on a successful £140,000 Nature Restoration Fund development phase bid in 2022. Following this, a successful £1.4 million delivery phase application was submitted in summer 2023 and work commenced in early 2024. River restoration and wetland creation are currently underway, with completion expected in March 2026.
The project aims to deliver climate change adaptation and nature restoration in Glens Clova, Doll and Prosen. Key themes include woodland expansion, wetland creation and river restoration carried out at a scale never before seen in Angus.
