Upper Tay Catchment Communities
Investment project code: 8
Perthshire Nature Connections Partnership (PNCP) is a long-term, nature-based vision to create a connection across Highland Perthshire between the Cairngorms and the Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Parks. It works with a range of organisations across community, environment and land management (website for details).
PNCP promotes integrated, large-scale ecological restoration of a sustainable and resilient landscape that provides environmental, socio-economic and health and wellbeing benefits to communities and land-managers.
PERTHSHIRE NATURE CONNECTION PARTNERSHIP – UPPER TAY CATCHMENT COMMUNITIES
PNCP knows where our area can deliver vitally important landscape changes, supporting biodiversity and addressing climate change. Landscape change will put Natural Capital ‘in the bank’ for us all – we have been overdrawn for too long. UPPER TAY CATCHMENT COMMUNITIES was an established working title for us prior to Riverwoods.
Our transition to a nature-based landscape needs supporting. Our area includes sparsely populated and remote areas, and significant but seasonal tourist activity. And nature across the area faces a worrying future.
Our local communities can be as nature-based as can any area’s communities – they are adaptable and innovative; but they must not be left behind. The landscape is not ‘urban’ or ‘rural’ capital – it is natural capital for everyone.
PNCP's published programme (Apr 2022) is a good framework, and the time has arrived for landscape-scale change on the ground.
Riverwoods - UPPER TAY CATCHMENT COMMUNITIES will unlock opportunities for innovation in nature-finance, providing specialist support to help us to deliver change faster and further. PNCP will enable change-projects to deliver, however best we can. We are always seeking new partners – businesses, communities and land-managers.

Excellent project that is much needed for the area to prosper and develop for the long term, best of luck David.
Fantastic project that will make a long-term difference.
Great project David! As a first time user of Consul I'm not sure if I have voted. It says 'This project has been selected for balloting phase'. Do you know if my vote has been counted or have I done something wrong?
Andrew, thanks for this - the voting on Consul is not my set-up, but i can see from this page that some people have both commented and voted, but that others seem to have just commented. I'll ask the Consul admins if they can post something here to advise us.
Hi David, as the P&D Climate Cafe I wasnt able to vote so had to set up another account.
So long as you have 'submitted' your vote then you have voted. Voting is still open til 30n Nov, in case you want to change your mind!
The majority recognise that change is necessary and agree that to do nothing is not an option. This project is an excellent step towards a better future and has my support as a Perthshire resident, land an business owner.
This is an excellent proposal which will have lasting benefits for so many communities across the counrty. Good luck David, I hope it is selcted.
Many river high catchments are in a perilous state, this is a worthy project that attempts to address the issues. Good luck.
Good luck David, will keep fingers crossed it will be selected.
This looks like it has great potential. Lots of opportunities for habitat improvements that benefit communities.
What a beneficial difference this would make both in terms of ecology and landscape- wishing you all the very best of luck with the project.
This is such an exciting and important project with so many benefits. Fingers crossed it gets the investment.
