Bright Green Nature is a nature restoration charity based in the Scottish Borders.
We are thrilled to launch our new website with a special gift for you – a Mindful Minute from Deer Park. Please take a moment to pause, breathe, and immerse yourself in the peace of this beautiful place. Notice how it makes you feel and let nature’s calm inspire you.
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.
Get in touch to learn how you can join us and help to make a difference.
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're all set up at the #borderunionshow. Why not come along and chat to us about all of our exciting projects - Selkirk's Nature Networks, Wild Your Space, Red Squirrel Recovery Network, Young Rewilders Forum and Junior Rangers!
Ever wanted to be a part of scientific research, but didn't know where to start?
Come along to a free introductory-session on biological recording where we'll show the how, why, where and when of biological recording, followed by the opportunity to use sweep netting to put these skills to practice. We'll then move on to pond dipping, where we will dive into the world of pond invertebrates.
This citizen science training is part of Nature Networks: Climate Change, an activity which is supported through the Scottish Government's Climate Engagement Fund. This is a climate engagement project run by Bright Green Nature, SBCAN and The Selkirk Hill Group to raise awareness of the local impacts of climate change.
