We have worked with the landowner of this estate since 2022 to support their woodland creation and 93 hectare ghost woodland restoration projects that will increase habitat connectivity and enhance biodiversity, whilst providing the landowner with alternatives to sheep farming. Ceannacroc has its own registered seed source with native Scots pine seed being harvested, the intention is to use trees grown on from this source for the nearby new woodland creation project.
