An exceptional opportunity to affiliate with a project in a world-famous location.  A two-phase native woodland restoration project just to the south of Loch Ness and near the Great Glen in Scotland.  Of course, the Highlands are a world class brand in themselves.  They are known from Australia to Japan, from Canada to the USA, and from Europe to China.  Perhaps the best known place of all in the Highlands, is Loch Ness. 

​

The project is located in the Heart of the Scottish Highlands and 40 minute's drive from Inverness.  It is uphill from the great Loch and in the immediate vicinity of Loch Mhor.    The project complements an important Site of Special Scientific Interest; a mature coastal forest that stretches along a section of the great Loch.  More than 19,500 tCO2e of offsetting is available. 

The permanent, diverse native woodland scheme is comprised 100,000 trees: Caledonian Scots pine, sessile oak, hazel, downy birch, rowan, eared willow and quaking aspen. 

​

Quaking aspen had been eradicated from the Highlands landscape, whereas it has remained an inspirational feature of the great Rocky Mountain landscape of the USA and Canada.  The trees are known for their dancing, golden leaves during autumn.  Typically located in areas of damp ground, such as along river courses, new groves will bejewel this great Scottish vista.

​

The estate itself is considerably mountainous and surrounded by several other large mountainous estates.  The estate is home to red grouse, black grouse, red deer, roe deer, sika deer and more.

​​

Other rare species in the landscape include Capercailies, Scottish wildcats, red squirrels, pine martens, golden plover, dunlin, golden eagles (nesting sites), white-tailed eagles (feeding), ospreys (feeding), ptarmigan, otters and water voles.​
