Memorandum of Understanding signed with Tayvallich Initiative

Highlands Rewilding sign a first-of-kind land management Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Tayvallich Initiative, a community body set up to consider options for community land purchase, to benefit both the local community and nature.

The MoU forms a broad framework to start a conversation about how nature and the local community can benefit each other. The memorandum includes key agreements such as a no-eviction policy and increased security for tenants on the estate, an undertaking to maintain at least the number of current jobs on the estate, and the application of the Rural Housing Burden on any plots or properties that are sold, with a title condition to use the property as the owner’s primary residence, giving the community the right of pre-emption of future sales. You can read more here.
