A partnership of charities, landowners and businesses has joined together to save and repair a connected area of blanket bog – among the world’s rarest habitats – across three neighbouring and diverse landholdings.

It has been facilitated by charity Rewilding Affric Highlands, which coordinates a growing partnership of landowners which forms the Affric Highlands landscape. Peatland restoration consultancy Caledonian Climate is providing expert advice and support.

The 1,024 hectare-initative is being carried out across rewilding charity Trees for Life’s Dundreggan estate, the privately owned Hilton Guisachan, and Corrimony Farm.

“This is about restoring a whole ecosystem at a landscape scale, and a shared commitment to tackling the nature and climate emergencies and benefitting local communities,” said Stephanie Kiel, Rewilding Affric Highlands executive director.

That's brilliant news! Also, somewhat unrelated, those are really nicely-composed photos. Really showing off how grand (and damp) a landscape it is
