Our project partners at are dedicated to rewilding the Scottish Highlands, and we're so proud to support their efforts 🌲
Travelling across the north and west of Scotland, Jane, the Wild Pine Project Officer, searches for forgotten fragments of ancient Caledonian pinewood. Last year, one journey meant paddling across a loch, where she found a fragment of pinewood surviving on small islands, protected simply by being out of reach from grazing animals. 🛶
“This special woodland has quietly endured here for centuries,” says Jane. “The diversity of places like this can spark wider ecological recovery across the landscape.”
With support from partners like TreadRight, these hidden places are being rediscovered and protected - helping nature, communities and the landscapes that inspire responsible travel.
