Trees for Life in the Scottish Highlands

11 October 2023

🌲A team of Menzies volunteers headed to the Scottish Highlands at the end of September, donating their time and energy at the Trees for Life Dundreggan Rewilding Centre.

From a guided tour of the centre’s specialist tree nursery, helping to weed nursery beds, sorting seeds, and packing more than 2,000 tree saplings ready to be sent off for planting, our team experienced rewilding in action first-hand! 🌱

Located just eight miles from Loch Ness, the Dundreggan estate in Glenmoriston is one of the largest areas of land in the UK to be bought for forest restoration. As well as being an internationally important forest restoration site, Dundreggan is a biodiversity hotspot that is home to over 4,000 plant and animal species. 🌿

We are proud to support Trees for Life as it transforms this precious landscape. Thank you to the hardworking team at Dundreggan for welcoming us and creating a space for visitors to connect with nature, learning about rewilding and the natural and cultural history of the Scottish Highlands.

If you want to support Trees for Life you can donate to the Menzies Aviation grove here.
