Exclosure, near Dundreggan

Trees for Life fenced off this area near the River Moriston in 2009. Since then, they have been planting a variety of trees, including aspen, birch, rowan, oak and pine. Most of the trees in this corner of the exclosure are still fairly small, so not very obvious amongst the bracken and long grass. The hills in the background are Binnilidh Bheag and Binnilidh Mhòr.

This is the Trees for Life tree nursery, situated next to Dundreggan Lodge. A range of species from the Caledonian Forest are propagated from seeds and cuttings. They will then be planted out on the Dundreggan Estate, and elsewhere in the Trees for Life project area. The nursery moved to Dundreggan last year, previously it was at Plodda Lodge NH2824 : Plodda Lodge. Tree nursery and field centre for the charity Trees For Life..

Dundreggan Lodge

Despite the name, this is not a particularly grand historic house. The old Dundreggan Lodge was near here, but demolished in the 1960s after falling into disrepair. This bungalow was built in the 1970s, and later became the main lodge on the estate. Dundreggan Estate is now owned by Trees for Life, with the lodge used as a field base and accommodation for volunteers.

The wild boar at Dundreggan

An enclosure of 12 hectares is fenced and electrified in places to keep in a herd of three wild boar. Trees for Life are investigating how effective wild boar are in bracken control. It is evident that near where the boar are fed the bracken is diminished. Apparently totally wild boar are to be found roaming within Glen Morriston. Trees for Life are the owners of Dundreggan.

Juniper located beside Juniper Walk, Dundreggan

Trees for Life have created three footpaths for visitors to experience the Dundreggan Estate and the work being carried out there. Juniper trees flourish here and the Juniper Walk meanders through the expanse of junipers. Juniper berries have a three year cycle.
