Coordinated action for
nature recovery and connection,
at a watershed–scale
An accelerated, collaborative programme of habitat restoration, carbon sequestration and river stewardship
The Findhorn Watershed Initiative is a multi-generational vision to restore a mosaic of nature rich habitats, grow a local culture of nature connection and enable a thriving nature-based economy for the people and places of the Findhorn watershed, from the Monadhliath Mountains to the Moray Firth.
Working together to protect and restore the places we love and call home
Catalysed by the global drive towards net zero and ecosystem restoration, the Findhorn Watershed Initiative brings together the watershed’s land owners, land managers, communities, businesses, and other river users across an area of 1300km2 for the benefit of future generations.
Led by local environmental conservation intermediary - The Findhorn, Nairn and Lossie Rivers Trust - the Findhorn Watershed Initiative was created as a direct response to the Trust’s 2021-26 Management Plan, which prioritises climate mitigation and habitat restoration, and is inspired by a bioregioning approach.
