Couldoran appeal | Help us create a new haven for wildlife

Together we can transform Couldoran’s bare landscape into a vibrant wildlife habitat. In 2019 the Woodland Trust did something truly remarkable – we bought our first mountain! Thanks to the amazing generosity of supporters who contributed to our appeal, we were able to take Ben Shieldaig in the West Highlands of Scotland into our care. Now we have the chance to double it in size by acquiring the neighbouring Couldoran Estate. It borders Ben Shieldaig to the south and west and lies in Scotland’s rainforest zone - a climate characterised by high rainfall, mild temperatures and clean air which covers less than 1% of the planet. Like its neighbour, the hills of Couldoran were once part of a network of diversely structured woodland habitats that blanketed Scotland’s coast. Today only individual trees and isolated areas of woodland remain, thanks largely to historical deforestation and a significant increase in deer grazing. Unless we can restore these fragile habitats, the woods and wildlife that rely on them could be lost forever. https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/supp... #WoodlandTrust #Appeal #Scotland #CouldoranEstate #WestHighlands #Conservation #LandscapeConservation #BenShieldaig
