Rural Connect is a new project based at SRUC Oatridge campus.  Their aim is to reconnect people living in West Lothian with the (rural) environment. Over the next two years, their mission is to develop and deliver practical projects and community-based activities, set up community volunteering groups, help existing groups and deliver skills development training and learning activities to school pupils, local residents of all ages, groups from urban areas and West Lothian’s rural business owners/managers.

They need to find out what people living in West Lothian think about their rural environment, and what kinds of things people want to engage and connect with; to do this they are conducting a survey online at:
