In one of the first and biggest projects of its kind in Scotland, a landscape of more than 1,000 hectares of a globally rare and threatened habitat is being restored near Loch Ness, as part of Britain...
A partnership of charities, landowners and businesses has joined together to save and repair a connected area of blanket bog – among the world’s rarest habitats – across three neighbouring and diverse landholdings.
It has been facilitated by charity Rewilding Affric Highlands, which coordinates a growing partnership of landowners which forms the Affric Highlands landscape. Peatland restoration consultancy Caledonian Climate is providing expert advice and support.
The 1,024 hectare-initative is being carried out across rewilding charity Trees for Life’s Dundreggan estate, the privately owned Hilton Guisachan, and Corrimony Farm.
“This is about restoring a whole ecosystem at a landscape scale, and a shared commitment to tackling the nature and climate emergencies and benefitting local communities,” said Stephanie Kiel, Rewilding Affric Highlands executive director.
