The Northwoods Rewilding Network, co-ordinated by the charity Scotland: The Big Picture, was set up in April 2021 in response to the growing number of landowners keen to contribute to Scotland’s role in reversing global nature loss and tackling climate breakdown.

The chain now includes over a hundred landholdings stretching “from the Solway Firth to Sutherland, and from the East Neuk of Fife to the Ross of Mull”, supporting dozens of jobs and over £4.2 million in local investment since its launch.

They include partners in the Lothians such as Clint Estate south of East Linton and Nature at Spott near Broxburn. Others nearby include Leadburn Community Woodland south of the Pentland Hills, between Penicuik and Eddleston.
