We are the official charity of Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, and supported by our amazing volunteers deliver our work under two main themes Nature Connections and Connected Lives.
Our vision is for our landscapes and communities to be connected and thriving and we have achieved a considerable amount through our collaboration on landscape scale nature restoration projects.
Our vision is for our landcapes and communities to be connected and thriving like 'Walk in the Park' our health walk programme which through mobility connects participants with each other, and their local environment!
We empower individuals to get outside more, be more physically active, to appreciate the nature on their doorstep and to experience the positive benefits, feelings and emotions that connecting with nature can bring.
The landscape of the National Park is the result of a long relationship between people and nature. Volunteers can become directly involved in a variety of opportunities with us such as seed collecting, tree transplanting, butterfly, lichen and bryophyte surveying and monitoring.
Giving back to nature. We are grateful for the continued support of our dedicated volunteers who donate their time towards our practical conservation work.
People and nature are at the heart of what we do. We stand and work alongside local communities, community interest groups, heritage groups, schools and land managers to create more opportunities for people to connect with nature.
We offer life-long learning opportunities and activities to ensure our actions continue to enhance the National Parks biodiversity and bring benefits to its local communities.
