The project aims to create a robust, flexible and sustainable planning process specifically designed for NTS's NNRs, and to recommend next steps for future VMP development across NTS properties to ensure the long-term management of these remarkable landscapes.

LUC brings a wealth of experience to this project, having worked on similar initiatives with organisations including Natural Resources Wales, the National Trust, Wildlife Trusts and previous work for the National Trust for Scotland.

LUC’s team of skilled professionals includes landscape managers and ecologists.

LUC will write VMPs for four diverse and inspiring NNRs: Corrieshalloch Gorge, Glencoe, St Abbs Head, and Staffa.

This project represents a significant step forward for NTS in safeguarding the ongoing protection and prosperity of its valuable NNRs.

The VMP process framework will ensure consistent data collection and management, guide future decision-making and provide a clear roadmap for ongoing NNR management and development for NTS.
