Reforestation and the protection of ancient woodland
Reforestation and the protection of ancient woodland
The Future Forest Company exists to restore nature and fight climate change. They aim to plant enough trees to remove 1 million tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere by 2030 to reverse the biodiversity crisis. At 419 metres, Dumyat Hill is an iconic landmark overlooking Stirling city. Their vision for this space is to create predominantly native woodland, establish vibrant wildlife corridors, restore wildflower meadows, and revive threatened pollinator populations for nature to thrive. This project was awarded Scotland’s Finest Woods Climate Change Champion Award in 2023.

While we’re working hard to create new forests for the future, we also understand the importance of protecting and restoring precious ancient woodlands on our land 🌳 😔 Britain has lost almost half of its ancient woodland since the 1930s, either through clearance for agriculture or conversion to conifer plantations. Sadly, the remaining pockets of this precious woodland are still under threat, due to legal loopholes in planning regulations and legislation which mean that ancient woodland can still be legally destroyed. We are lucky enough to manage several sites containing areas of ancient woodland. At our Glenaros site, we are protecting and restoring a special area of ancient Atlantic Hazelwood, also known as a Celtic rainforest. We are also safeguarding ancient woodland on our Dumyat and Brisbane Mains sites. It’s vital that we take action to preserve this remarkable habitat 💚🐿️
