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.

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.
