Land retirement advisers: landowners' gateway to land-use change
Updated
The land retirement adviser acts as an intermediary between the landowner, the municipality and the state. This role is central to making voluntary projects happen.
Two roles
- Primary contact for landowners in projects for which they can apply for grants themselves, and the landowner's single point of access to grants and regulatory approvals.
- Facilitating larger projects where a municipality or Naturstyrelsen (the Danish Nature Agency) is the project owner.
Outreach work
The advisers participate in local outreach work to increase awareness and interest among landowners and act as a link between landowners, municipalities, Naturstyrelsen and the local tripartite partnerships.
Working with the tripartite partnerships
SGAV (the Danish Agency for Green Transition and Aquatic Environment) describes very close cooperation between the local tripartite partnerships and the land retirement advisers.
Good material for discussion
A clear picture of the landowner's land, with map layers and photos from the same day, makes it easier to discuss options and consequences.
