Nature for everyone

Community Introductions

Community Introductions - Engaging new audiences in enjoying Scotland's special places for nature

This exciting programme was developed to support the implementation of the Scottish Natural Heritage policy statement, 'Enjoying the Outdoors - Increasing Participation, Sharing the Benefits'.

The programme was designed to introduce black and minority ethnic community groups nationwide to some of Scotland's special places for nature.  Places visited included National Nature Reserves, National Parks, Regional, Country and Woodland Parks as well as other areas of our countryside and coast managed for people and nature.

Overall, 170 participants were involved, introducing them to host organisations and ranger services to support and encourage future visits to the outdoors.
