Northwoods Rewilding
Scotland The Big Picture
We are the 50th Land Member to join and act on these key rewilding commitments:
MORE NATIVE WOODLAND: Plant mixed broadleaves, fruit trees and Scots pine in protected enclosures.
Trees Planted over last 4 years, around 6,000.
MORE SPACE FOR WATER: Create new scrapes and leaky dams / ponds.
Picture on right is our first pond (2005), 2 scrapes built and at least 4 leaky dams built up to 2024, 2 more ponds being created March 2025.
JOINED UP HABITATS: Continue to create woodland corridors in linear enclosures linking fragmented habitat; remove redundant fencing. Still an ongoing project into 2025.
CONNECT WITH COMMUNITIES: Encourage local community to enjoy the landscape through the installation of benches, tables and paths. Ongoing into 2025.
CREATE REWILDING BUSINESS: Continue development of low-impact rural accommodation enterprise and involvement with nature appreciation tourism.
