A small community in Scotland is forging ahead with the creation of the Tarras Valley Nature Reserve which will focus on nature restoration and tackling climate change. Emma Keeling meets the team of locals behind the Langholm Initiative. They successfully raised £6m to buy 10,500 acres of wild-life rich land in the Southern Uplands near Langholm. The former textile town has seen a decline in traditional industry resulting in loss of jobs and that’s where the Langholm Initiative comes in. They hope the new nature reserve will create more opportunities in the community at the same time as restoring the natural environment. As the climate emergency becomes ever more urgent, RAZOR finds out whether people power and community conservation efforts are the way to go.
