Hear Alan on Radio Scotland this weekend!
As our sponsored Treelay draws to a close (the last leg is being walked on Saturday 19th), don't forget to tune in to Radio Scotland this weekend to hear our Executive Director Alan being interviewed by Helen Needham from the Out of Doors programme. Helen caught up with Alan last week as he walked leg 3 of the Treelay. It's being broadcast on Saturday 19th from 6.30am and again on Sunday 20th from 11am. You can read Alan's blog about it here. |
Volunteers enjoy spring sunshine
Our Conservation Holiday volunteers are making the most of the long spring days and mild weather by getting stuck in with some practical work. So far this year, they've been planting trees, working in the tree nursery, putting up fences - and most of all having fun while doing it! The spring season runs until the end of May so it's not too late to sign up. For a list of dates available - including all the autumn weeks - see the Conservation Holidays bookings page. |

Restoring the Caledonian Forest
Trees for Life is an award-winning charity working to help restore the Caledonian Forest, which formerly covered a large part of the Scottish Highlands. Only a small percentage of the original forest survives today, as isolated stands of mostly old trees. Since 1989 we’ve been helping to bring this forest back from the brink, both through natural regeneration and by planting trees. Our long term vision is to restore the forest, and all its constituent species, in a 1000 square mile area west of Inverness, including our 10,000 acre Dundreggan Estate.
