A tree-mendous idea

A 30-year large-scale rewilding initiative to link up a majestic sweep of the Scottish Highlands as one vast nature recovery area, connecting Loch Ness to Scotland’s west coast, has been launched by charity Trees for Life. The Affric Highlands initiative follows three years of consultation and aims to restore over 500,000 acres, from Loch Ness across the central Highlands to Kintail in the west, and encompassing Glens Cannich, Affric, Moriston and Shiel. www.treesforlife.org.uk
