Restoring Missing Species: The Beaver We are currently publishing a series of articles in our members' magazine, Caledonia Wild!, on restoring species that are missing from the Caledonian Forest. The first of these, on the European beaver, is now available to read online here.

Sponsor an Acre at Dundreggan Dundreggan is a spectacular 10,000 acre expanse of wild land near Loch Ness owned by Trees for Life since 2008. It has an astonishing diversity of wildlife, with over 2,800 species found so far, but much work is needed to restore their natural habitats. You can make Dundreggan an even better place for wildlife, from £5 per month, by sponsoring an acre.

Restoring the Caledonian Forest

Trees for Life is an award-winning charity working to restore Scotland’s Caledonian Forest. Our long term vision is to restore natural forests and rare wildlife to a 1,000 square mile area west of Inverness, including our 10,000 acre Dundreggan Estate. Almost all of our conservation work is carried out by conservation volunteers, and funded by our members and people who dedicate a tree or grove. We offer an annual conservation volunteering programme in beautiful locations in the Scottish Highlands. Environmental volunteering opportunities include Conservation Weeks, also known as working holidays, and Conservation Days. Conservation volunteering is a rewarding and enjoyable way to make a positive difference. No previous skills or experience are required. Our conservation volunteers have already planted more than a million trees. Join us on a conservation holiday and help us plant a million more.
