Childhood holidays in the Scottish Highlands first sparked my interest in geology, these annual summer breaks also made me aware of just how bare much of the Highlands are today. In actuallity this region was once covered by the largest temperate rainforest in Britain, the Caledonian Forest, which now covers just ~2% of its previous area. Only small scattered remnants remain, and this fragmentation has understandably led to fractured ecosystems and a loss of biodiversity.
Therefore, my company supports the Scottish multi-award winning registered charity Trees for Life, who work in partnership numerous agencies including - Forestry Commission Scotland, The National Trust for Scotland, RSPB and various private landowners - to restore the Caledonian Forest.
To support Trees For Life, TSR Valstone has established a Corporate Grove, where direct donations can be made by the company, friends, family, clients and others, to plant trees throughout the Scottish Highlands, helping to restore the Caledonian Forest for future generations!
