Nature Restoration Fund (NRF) - Supported Projects
The Scottish Government’s Nature Restoration Fund (NRF) supports projects to help tackle the nature-climate crises, working to restore Scotland’s biodiversity and increase resilience to climate change, while improving the health and wellbeing of local communities.
Since its launch in 2021, the Nature Restoration Fund has supported more than 170 projects, worth over £50 million. Here you'll find information about some of this vital work, including videos which celebrate the people and organisations taking action for nature, and a story map which illustrates the breadth and range of projects taking place across the country.
Films with Gaelic subtitles can be viewed over on our YouTube channel / Gheibhear fiolmichean le fo-thiotalan Gàidhlig air an t-seanail YouTube againn.
