Trees for Life

For over 25 years, Trees for Life, a charitable organisation, has been working to rewild the Scottish Highlands. The charity is restoring the Caledonian forest in Glen Affric and at its 10,000-acre Dundreggan estate in Glenmoriston, where it grows thousands of native trees from seed each year. Working with landowners and local communities, Trees for Life is scaling up this work with its new Affric Highlands initiative.

Next year Trees for Life will open the world’s first Rewilding Centre at Dundreggan, where rewilding has been taking place since 2008. The multi-million-pound natural heritage centre will be a gateway to the estate’s wild landscape, allowing visitors to experience rewilding in action, explore accessible trails and hikes and learn more about local wildlife, culture and heritage. The centre will also offer a cafe, classrooms and accommodation for a wide range of immersive events, activities and experiences.

For over two decades Trees for Life has been working to bring innovation to conservation.
