Highland Environment Forum

Our Work

The Highland Environmental Forum (HEF) was established to provide an arena for discussion, networking and action on environmental subjects.

To do this we:

Foster and coordinate activity on environmental matters
Take forward relevant actions identified in the Highland Outcome Improvement Plan and be a valuable source of practical advice
Identify, and respond to, emerging environmental agendas
Provide a link between local groups and national strategies, action plans and reporting
Raise awareness and promote good practice on environmental issues

We hold two full Forum meetings a year,

organise annual biodiversity and invasive species conferences,

and set up working groups as required.

Anyone who has an interest in Highland environmental issues and who agrees with our aims is welcome to join us. So far more than 200 of you have.

You can join as an individual, organisation or business. There's no charge, simply get in touch with Caroline to join, or to find out more.

The Forum is funded by the Highland Council and Scottish Natural Heritage.
