Restoring them is a major priority for us.
Currently, we're restoring six sites, including Loch Leven where 47 hectares have been deer-fenced to encourage regeneration. Help us continue to expand our restoration efforts:

Please help us record ash dieback-tolerant trees in Scotland! It's estimated up to 75% of our ash trees will be gone in 20 years ☹️. Thankfully some show a natural tolerance to the disease. We need #Volunteers to find & record these valuable trees from July.🙏
