Members are warmly invited to attend our event which will showcase climate change tools employed by Woodland Trust, Peatland Restoration and Woodland Carbon Capture. 

This event is designed to inspire landowners to take action on climate change by restoring damaged peatland and creating new woodland as well as provide information on funding mechanisms and provide an explanation of the practical considerations of planning and delivering such work. 

The event will also include information on funding pathways, natural regeneration, monitoring and management of both peatland and upland woodland.

We will be joined on the day by staff from The Woodland Trust, Peatland Restoration and Woodland Carbon Capture, Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park, as well as SLE colleagues. 

Spaces are limited so booking is advised through the Scottish Land & Estates website.
