The Scottish Forum on Natural Capital brings together experts and organisations from different sectors to form specific topic hubs and networks, each with their own focus and goals.

Digital Enablers for Natural Capital

Brings together all those interested in geospatial data management for nature, to explore the possibilities and share knowledge and learning towards a digitally enabled environment for natural capital in Scotland.

 


Exploration Zones

Exploration zones are curated conversations within our network which explore natural capital more widely or a specific element in more detail, and bring learning and ideas back to the network, creating spaces beyond focused topics, for interaction and cross-pollination between the hubs.

These zones are initiated and led by members of our network. The Scottish Forum secretariat provides the Basecamp network and wider infrastructure to enable communication and activity.

The Ecosystem Services Community Scotland (ESCom) group, was closed in August 2022 to allow the group members to focus on other commitments. It was felt the policy, NGO, business and research community engagement would continue through other routes in the Scottish Forum. Legacy outputs can be found here.
