Social Impact in Rewilding Projects

Social Impact Assessment of Rewilding at Dundreggan Estate

Aquatera Group is supporting Trees for Life at Dundreggan Estate, Scotland, to strengthen the social impact of its rewilding initiatives. Our work focuses on developing evidence and practical tools to ensure that nature restoration projects deliver benefits for both ecosystems and local communities.

Through this collaboration, Trees for Life is strengthening its capacity to measure and monitor social impact, with knowledge and skills transferred throughout the process. The work also establishes a clear framework for assessing project performance and defining social impact indicators for current and future initiatives. The approach developed can be replicated to support other Trees for Life projects in the future.
