Wester Ross Biosphere - Gaelic Strategy Community Engagement

Wester Ross Biosphere has received funding from Bòrd na Gàidhlig to support and encourage Gaelic use and participation across our area. This survey has been designed to gather baseline data to inform Gaelic development activities and create a community-driven Biosphere Gaelic strategy.

All responses will be anonymised for the purposes of any outputs, such as a Gaelic strategy and an evidence summary for use by other community groups. The data will be accessed by the Biosphere's Gaelic Development Officer and research team and anonymised outputs will be published online on www.wrb.scot

If you have any questions about this survey please email events@wrb.scot.
