Join us for the planting of the Millionth Tree!

On Sunday 20th May, wildlife camera man and film maker Gordon Buchanan will plant our Millionth Tree. We've got a whole day of celebrations planned at Dundreggan, starting at 10.30 am, which will include bushcraft, a Woodland Orchestra, feeding the wild boar and a guided walk. We'd love it if you could join us! Contact the office on 0845 458 3505 or see here for more details.

Treelay is well underway!

Our sponsored Treelay began on 5th May. So far the walkers have enjoyed spectacular views and an assortment of weather - including sunshine, rain and snow! Our Executive Director Alan walked leg 3 and was joined by Helen Needham from the Radio Scotland programme, Out of Doors. You can hear the interview on Saturday 19th May from 6.30 am, and again on Sunday 20th from 11am. In the meantime, you can read about his experience in his blog 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.
