Could you help build the partnerships, projects and momentum needed to reconnect people and nature across the National Park through a new, landscape-scale nature restoration initiative?

This is an exciting time to explore new opportunities, take on rewarding challenges, and work with a team united by a passion for people and nature.

LLTCT is a small team of experienced staff supported by committed volunteers delivering a wide range of benefits to nature and people. We have brought extensive experience, knowledge and connections in nature restoration through working with over 30 land managers, community groups, charities, local businesses and statutory bodies on Wild Strathfillan (a 50,000-hectare landscape-scale project).

We now need to build capacity within the team to further develop our people and community-focussed work.

Working in partnership with Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park Authority and RSPB Scotland, LLTCT has committed to the exciting new Loch Lomond & The Trossachs Landscape Connections (LLTLC) Initiative, funded by The National Heritage Lottery Fund. This focuses on accelerating restoration of our woodland mosaic, addressing shared threats, and maximising shared opportunities for people and communities across three existing landscape partnerships (Wild Strathfillan, The Great Trossachs Forest, Lomond Rainforest).
