The SLA are delighted to announce that the Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs, Land Reform and Islands, Mairi Gougeon, has endorsed the final draft of the updated Scotland’s Landscape Charter:-

‘the draft revised Charter helpfully highlights the twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate change and points to landscape considerations being a key element in decision making if we are to achieve our ambition of a net zero and nature positive Scotland’

We would like to thank all the supporters of the SLA and all those individuals, groups and organisations who were able to input into this process and helped bring to life  a new Landscape Charter for Scotland that reflects the importance of our landscapes to climate resilience and biodiversity, our public health and wellbeing and our economic performance.
