Bright Green Nature is a nature restoration charity based in the Scottish Borders.

Our aim is to empower and enable communities to protect nature in the places they love and to restore and protect rare and vulnerable habitats.

We work exclusively at small scale and grass roots level, working alongside communities to restore the places that they value.

We rely on the help of our valued volunteers and partners to achieve our ambitions.

We restore and protect the health and resilience of natural ecosystems, by:

  • Restoring, protecting and connecting habitats to conserve and improve abundance and resilience of native biodiversity
  • Restoring and protecting ecosystem function, health and resilience
  • Supporting and conducting research into ecosystem restoration practices; dissemination and interpretation of results to benefit nature and people

We connect and engage people with nature, by:

  • Improving the connectivity of people with Nature so that they are motivated to protect it
  • Making nature accessible to all; reaching new audiences through using nature to connect with people in innovative ways
  • Connecting people with their natural and cultural heritage to understand its importance in shaping how we understand nature and how we live with nature in the future
  • Empowering communities and individuals to learn new nature based skills and knowledge, to improve wellbeing and employability

We restore nature at micro to medium scale

  • We believe that to truly engage people, ALL people with rewilding and nature restoration, we must support people in their own spaces

Our work is embedded within communities

  • We live and work here, we are part of the community.
  • People are central to our work, right down to gathering the data we need

We build in an understanding of local heritage and culture in our efforts to recover nature

  • We believe in the importance of sense of place in connecting with nature and the desire to protect and restore it

Our work is based on rigorous scientific evidence and best practice

  • We strive to extend our understanding through research partnerships and always taking an innovative approach
