Shortlisted entries of the IFLI' 2015 nature and lanscape photography competition: Your Forth

The Go Forth booklet is designed to help you discover more about the natural and historic heritage of the landscape by sharing some of the best places to go, and how to link them together.

Two projects were used to review and refine the Ecological Coherence Protocol: the Inner Forth Habitat Network Pilot led by Inner Forth Futures and the CSGN B-Lines Project led by Buglife Scotland. Each project worked with stakeholders in their respective areas, and the EcoCo staff team, in applying the ecological coherence protocol at a local or regional level. This learning has been applied to the refinement of the protocol and its revised presentation to further enable use by other practitioners.

This is the end of project report on the Inner Forth Habitat Network Pilot. This pilot aimed to trial the prioritisation, mapping and promotion of a habitat network for the CSGN areas within the Stirling, Falkirk, Clackmannanshire and Fife local authority areas to demonstrate how local delivery of the National Ecological Network could be achieved. The Pilot used the EcoCo ecological coherence protocol, refining its use during the project for the benefit of future users.

This is the final report of the work undertaken by the Inner Forth Wetland Habitat Network at four sites around the Inner Forth, in 2020-2021: Bothkennar Pools (Falkirk Council), Buther Wetlands (Fife Council), Carron Dams Local Nature Reserve (Scottish Wildlife Trust) and Kildean Wetlands (Stirling Council). This work was funded by the Biodiversity Challenge Fund.

This guide introduces practitioners to the streamlined ecological coherence approach and provides guidance to those looking to undertake similar work in their landscape, land-holding or area. The guide uses the Inner Forth Habitat Network pilot (2018-2019) as a case study to take you through use of the ecological coherence protocol.
