Highlands and Islands Environment Foundation

About

The Highlands & Islands Environment Foundation (HIEF) aims to protect and restore the natural beauty, biodiversity and eco-systems of the highlands and islands of Scotland for the benefit of all by working with grassroots organisations and local communities to support projects in freshwater, marine and coastal, forest and woodland and montane habitats as appropriate. Collating, and thus maximising, philanthropic funds from people and organisations with a passion for the area, HIEF awards grants and provides additional support, if required, to test and develop solutions which identify best practice and can be replicated to create systemic change for sustained positive environmental impact.
