SBP is a dynamic organisation with an exciting portfolio of nature recovery projects to deliver across Scotland.

At a time when businesses are increasingly conscious of their responsibility to address climate breakdown and ecological decline, there exists an opportunity to align rewilding with investment and engagement from the business sector. Seizing this opportunity to make more rewilding happen, lies at the core of this role.
