Abstract/Summary

This paper presents a case study from Loweswater in the UK where an experiment in community catchment management has provided insights into the importance of scale for governance from both natural and social perspectives. The study highlights the need for considering the scale at which societies interact with the ecological systems supporting them and providing appropriate multi-level governance structures to support local level initiatives in environmental governance.
