Murray Park, Alford, Scotland, UK

Connected community woodland

Social exclusion and disconnection from nature are key issues in urban and rural areas. Cultivating a deeper and more meaningful connection with nature fosters a sense of harmony and well-being. Natural areas provide a place for community interaction and deepen human-nature connections. LL Scotland is co-creating a management model for a rural woodland, Murray Park, with strengthened community cohesion between humans and nature. This will build a deeper understanding of and affinity for natural habitats so those involved become their custodians, caring for and protecting them.
