Annabel Davidson-Knight

As a Community Benefits from Nature Adviser, Annabel has a particular focus on support to embed a range of benefits for communities local to nature restoration projects. Working in partnership with the Cairngorms National Park Authority to explore opportunities arising from investment in natural capital, Annabel works with land managers and communities across the Park to identify and agree benefits as well as developing national best practice alongside a network of advisers through the Natural Capital Partnership Project with Community Land Scotland. Annabel has a background in the third sector, with a focus on place-based systems change, building multi-stakeholder partnerships and facilitating community action, most recently from within conservation organisations supporting people to actively shape a more equitable form of rural development in the face of climate and biodiversity threats.
