Our Rewilding Projects
Highlands Rewilding currently manages three rewilding projects in the Highlands of Scotland.
Follow the links below to find out more about our rewilding work at each project site, the research we are carrying out, and how to visit and get involved!
-
Bunloit
Bunloit sits on the western shores of Loch Ness in Inverness-shire. This 513 hectare highlands site contains a mosaic of habitats from native woodland to peatland, pastures and plantations, and is on a rewilding journey to becoming a biodiverse carbon sink.
-
Tayvallich
Tayvallich is a spectacular 1370-hectare site in mid-Argyll, containing a mosaic of habitats ranging from marine, wetlands, and salt marshes to ancient native woodlands and species-rich grasslands. Highlands Rewilding works with OSPREY partner Barrahormid Trust to manage over 800 hectares of land for this charity.
-
Beldorney
Beldorney is a 349-hectare site situated in Aberdeenshire, on the banks of the River Deveron. It is mostly grassland dominated with some largely non-native coniferous plantations. Here, we are improving species-rich grasslands and expanding native and riparian woodlands.
Health and Safety Notice
Deer management occurs across the estates. If you are planning to visit Bunloit or Beldorney or Tayvallich, please get in touch via info@highlandsrewilding.co.uk before your visit to coordinate stalking times and locations.
This is for your safety. For more information, please read our wildlife management policy.
We have wild boar at Bunloit. If you are visiting, please be aware and cautious, especially in the warmer months when piglets are around. Please keep dogs on leads for safety, be wary of causing wild fires and leave no trace.
Fire safety notice
When visiting any of our sites or other rural areas, please follow the Scottish Outdoor Access Code at all times. Due to the extreme high risk of fires across the Highlands during the summer months:
Never light open fires when visiting or camping.
Never discard cigarrettes.
Refrain from BBQs and use portable stoves instead when cooking.
