In 2017, we visited the Dundreggan forest in the Scottish Highlands to take part in a tree planting scheme on behalf of the studio’s sustainable initiative. Five years on and we have been updated of the impressive progress in the growth of this beautiful estate. We are truly proud to see the development of these photos from 2017 to 2022, and to recognise that these actions have created tangible results.
In the 1950’s, only 1% of the majestic in a past Caledonian Forest of Scottish highland remained, as a result of tree felling, urban growth, and farming. Since the regeneration, over 4,000 species of plant and animal are now found on the land, including red squirrels, lynx, wolves, wild cattle, beavers and rare plants like twinflowers.
Warm regards to everyone involved once again. It was a truly special week at Dundreggan forest. A few useful links below:
