Tiny fungi on log in Strathfarrar

Growing inside the special exclosure we put up on Dundreggan in 2002, this is one of the tallest dwarf birch plants on the estate. With your help now, we’ll enable lots more to grow like this.

This sawfly larva (Nematus pravus) had never been recorded in the UK until it was found at Dundreggan in 2011. Along with 2 other sawfly species and a rare micro-moth, it lives only on dwarf birch, so its future is dependent on protection and restoration of this special habitat.

Dwarf birch, seen here with reindeer lichen, changes colour to beautiful shades of yellow and red in autumn.

Return of the Wee Trees Appeal


Yes! I want to support the Return of the Wee Trees Appeal

Here’s what your support can help us with:

  • Plant out dwarf birch grown in our specialist tree nursery to expand dwarf birch habitat and create one of the best areas of mountain woodland in the UK. £15 will pay for 3 new dwarf birch plants.
  • Fence a new area of dwarf birch at Dundreggan and allow it to grow freely again, to benefit some of our rarest wildlife. £50 will pay for 5 metres of deer fencing.
  • Support innovative research to test new ways of planting and protecting dwarf birch, and use our findings to influence dwarf birch restoration work across Scotland. £100 will help to meet the costs of further specialist biodiversity surveys and research projects for dwarf birch.
