Ecological Restoration Sites

An increasing number of ecological restoration projects are now being initiated and developed, both in the UK and in other parts of the world:

Carrifran Wildwood Project
One of those here in Scotland is the Carrifran Wildwood Project, located in the Southern Uplands, near the English border. Inspired in part by our work and vision, this project aims to restore wild native forest to a 600 hectare (1,500 acre) valley in one of the most deforested parts of Scotland. Trees for Life has recently donated £500 to this project, becoming one of the 'Founders of Carrifran', and we look forward to ongoing links between their work and ours.

Moor Trees
Moor Trees is a conservation charity working to restore areas of wild and native woodland to Dartmoor in Devon, in the southwest of England. Dartmoor was formerly more forested but now contains only a few tiny fragments of ancient oak woodland. Inspired in part by the work of Trees for Life, the Moor Trees vision is to encourage areas of Dartmoor to return to forest wilderness.

Lake Pedder
The Lake Pedder project aims to restore a uniquely beautiful lake in the heart of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area in Australia. The original lake was flooded by the construction of a hydroelectric dam in 1972, and this site contains details of the project's proposal to return the lake to its natural condition, as a visionary and inspiring start to the new millennium.

RESTORE: The North Woods
An American organisation we've been put in touch with is RESTORE: The North Woods, which is working for the protection and restoration of the forests of the northeastern USA and southeastern Canada. Their vision and work parallels our own in many ways, and includes proposals for the reintroduction of wolves to their former range in the northeast of the USA.

Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative
The Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative or Y2Y is a joint Canada- US network of over 800 organizations and individiuals interested in restoring and maintaining the Yellowstone to Yukon region. The group works with local communities, through education and stewardship programs, to encourage conservation of the area. The broad goal of the project is to create a life-sustaining web of protected wildlife cores and connecting wildlife movement corridors.
