Focus:

Bioregioning Tayside is a new platform which is bringing people in Tayside together to build community resilience in the face of: – global heating – with major implications for survival of life as we know it, – a sixth mass extinction of plants and animals driven by us, which is collapsing biodiversity and threatening the food webs we depend on – a broken economic model – which is fuelling the climate crisis and biodiversity collapse and resulting in increasing social injustice and mental ill health.

Their projects include:

Watershed Restoration Project

Community Science Project
