An industry-leading pilot project to enhance natural habitats near the iconic Glenfinnan viaduct has begun.
The project area sits within Scotland’s endangered Atlantic rainforest zone. The removal of non-native plant species, management of deer browsing, fencing improvement work, wet woodland enhancements and tree planting will take place across approximately 200 hectares to protect, restore and expand rainforest and peatland habitats.
