ABOUT THIS PROJECT
===============================
In Scotland, dense forests of birch, pine, oak and other species cover the bottom of the glens (valleys) and hillsides while alpine heath species carpet the tops of the hills and mountains. The transition between these two zones is pretty obvious because the missing link - the mountain woodland - is almost entirely missing. We should see forests grading into scattered trees and shrubs before gradually disappearing up the mountain. This habitat provides shelter and food for many species and could be important for mitigating the impacts of climate change. It’s rare in Scotland but it’s also understudied, usually restricted to inaccessible cliffs and gullies. We are embarking on a long-term project to find previously undiscovered remnants of mountain woodland, with the ultimate aim of restoring this habitat.
