Project highlights

About the woodland

This woodland is situated on a coastal slope on the Isle of Skye and enhances a working livestock farm while expanding vital habitat. Linking fragmented hedgerows and wooded pockets across the landscape, it supports biodiversity and improves shelter for grazing animals.

The woodland sits within a broader vision for integrated land use, with open areas designed to support non-woody species and encourage natural regeneration.

Supported by FGS and sponsors, the new planting preserves heritage while protecting young trees with fencing and guards.

Project stats

  • Trees planted: 11,408 trees planted

FAQs

How do you ensure your sponsorship projects deliver on their impact objectives?

Quality assurance is crucial to avoid greenwashing and misuse of nature funding. With 55 years of combined experience, we've created guidelines to ensure projects achieve their impact goals:

Site visits to assess woodland health and stocking

We visit these woodlands during the establishment years to ensure proper management and tree planting. If development is unsatisfactory, we will work with the land manager to correct it.

Collaboration with trusted partners

We create high-integrity woodlands by collaborating with dedicated farmers, tenants, land managers, and foresters who have a proven track record of success.

Incentivisation through staggered payments

We incentivise effective woodland management by staggering payments, with the initial payment after planting and a second payment after a successful year-5 site visit, based on sponsorship sales.
