About
SRUC’s Biodiversity Strategy (88-pages) was composed as part of our “Climate Change Action Plan” commitments and objectives. It involved a comprehensive two-year development process, leading to the implementation of targeted conservation and restoration projects across the SRUC 4,653ha estate. Furthermore, the strategy is used for student curriculum module assessments that propose campus biodiversity improvements.
