Glenfinnan
An industry-leading pilot project to enhance the natural habitat near the iconic Glenfinnan viaduct is making good progress with the completion of the first phase of work.
Network Rail Scotland is working with Forestry and Land Scotland (FLS) to improve biodiversity and to protect and restore rainforest and peatland habitats in the West Highlands.
The two-year project will see an investment of more than £300k in enhancing the rainforest and other habitats.
It’s in recognition of the biodiversity lost during safety-critical lineside tree and vegetation management works across Scotland’s rail network.
During the first phase of work, non-native invasive species were removed and fencing was installed to protect ancient oak-woodland from grazing animals.
