Highlands Rewilding plans to expand areas of rare Atlantic temperate rainforest on Tayvallich Estate.
A 3,500-acre estate in Argyll has been sold after the preferred bidder raised £10m through a crowdfunding appeal for the purchase.
Tayvallich Estate includes several small islands and a number of Sites of Special Scientific Interest.This would involve expanding areas of rare and ancient Atlantic temperate rainforest. The woodlands found on Scotland's west coast are rich in oak, birch and native pine trees as well lichens, rare mosses and liverworts.Dr Jeremy Leggett said Highlands Rewilding had the local community at the heart of its plans
Highlands Rewilding already owns two Scottish estates, Bunloit in Inverness-shire and Beldorney in Aberdeenshire. Founder Dr Jeremy Leggett said adding the Tayvallich estate to that portfolio is a fantastic opportunity to scale up efforts to tackle climate meltdown and biodiversity collapse., for buying up large pieces of land where they can make money by planting trees to offset carbon emissions elsewhere.
