The Nevis Landscape Partnership (NLP) is a community organisation working in partnership to enhance the environmental and cultural qualities of the Nevis area whilst providing opportunities for all to enjoy and appreciate it.
Founded in 2002, the NLP promotes thoughtful access, enjoyment and appreciation of Ben Nevis and Glen Nevis, by working in partnership and cooperation with the various landowners and stakeholders in the area.
The Nevis Nature Network project area spans 9,000ha and covers a vast array of native habitats. This includes a considerable area of ancient woodland in the rainforest zone, and woodland restoration and expansion is one of the four project aims.
Our partners are committed to maximizing the possible future extent of rainforest across the landscape. We are also committed to prioritizing landscape-scale expansion by natural regeneration instead of relying on fencing and tree planting.
We are looking forward to incorporating this rainforest restoration work into our wider outreach and education work.
Project aims
Our shared vision is to restore a rich mosaic of woodland habitats, across Ben Nevis and Glen Nevis, to secure the future of our rare and vulnerable local species and to share wild places with communities near and far.
The project has four priority aims:
To restore and expand native woodland
Eradicate invasive species
Secure the future of our montane scrub
Support nature connection
Project partners
This is Nevis Landscape Partnerships most ambitious nature restoration project yet. We are working in partnership with the largest landowners in the project area: JAHAMA Highland Estate, John Muir Trust, Glen Nevis Estate and Forestry and Land Scotland.
