Species Profiles

Trees for Life is compiling species profiles for all the flora and fauna which together constitute the Caledonian Forest ecosystem. We include both species which currently live there and extinct species which naturally belong in the Caledonian Forest and whose reintroduction in due course we advocate.

The links below lead to other pages with detailed information about the species which comprise the Caledonian Forest ecosystem, and these complement our series on the Ecological features of the Caledonian Forest.

Trees Alder, common or black Aspen Birch (silver birch and downy birch) Dwarf birch Eared willow Hazel Holly Juniper Oak Rowan Scots pine Plants Blaeberry Creeping ladies tresses Glittering wood-moss Heather Lesser twayblade Twinflower Fungi Pinewood tooth fungi Lichens Tree Lungwort

Birds Black grouse Capercaillie Crested Tit Osprey Scottish crossbill Mammals European beaver Pine marten Red deer Red squirrel Scottish Wildcat Wild boar Insects Highland biting midge Pearl-bordered fritillary Pine looper moth Wood ants Other invertebrates European black slug Fish Atlantic salmon
