Communities and landscape
The landscape around you helps to shape the identity of your place and how your community feels about it.
It can be easy to take for granted what you value about your surroundings. And you may feel you don’t have a say in the changes that happen in your place. Getting involved as a community can help you to feel heard.
Communities can have a say in landscape change by joining in development planning, engaging with developers and even preparing a village or town design statement.
Help your community to care for your local landscape by using the Talking About Our Place toolkit to uncover the issues at stake. It provides guidance, resources and ideas to help you to think about and discuss your landscape as a community.
Communities and organisations actively involved in caring for Scotland’s nature and landscapes may be eligible for project funding.
