Experience the wonder of the Loch Ness Afforestation Project!

Become a part of restoring the natural world and enhancing and preserving Scotland’s wild beauty.

The project champions biodiversity. Caledonian Scots pines and quaking aspen intermingle with other native species, creating a welcoming habitat for red and Black Grouse, Deer, and even potentially the elusive iconic Scottish Wildcat. This flourishing forest doesn’t just support wildlife – it also creates employment for local people, boosting the economy alongside the climate and biodiversity gains.

As the forest grows, it provides 19,500 tCO2e equivalent in Balance Units, allowing you to directly contribute to a greener future. Each tree planted helps restore the balance of this breathtaking Highland ecosystem.

Imagine a landscape where wildlife thrives and adapts! The new woodland expands upon nearby ancient forests, offering vital habitat for red deer, fallow deer, otters, badgers, and even the elusive red squirrel. Importantly, it creates migration corridors for species to navigate the changing climate. Its strategic location near the Yorkshire Dales National Park, Forest of Bowland AONB, and the Ribble Estuary SSSI enhances existing conservation efforts, providing a haven for land and marine species alike.

Blue Slate Wood also protects local waterways, acting as a buffer against agricultural runoff. It currently offers 1,607 tCO2e of balance units, allowing you to make a tangible impact on climate change.

Join the mission to restore balance within Lancashire. The Blue Slate Wood project exemplifies how a commitment to nature benefits the environment, the community, and future generations to come.

A Sanctuary for Wildlife

The revitalized Caledonian Forest, with its Scots pine and Norway spruce, provides a haven for Scotland’s iconic creatures. Red squirrels and pine martens find refuge amongst the branches while birds of prey like white-tailed eagles, kestrels, and hawks soar overhead. Native broadleaves planted along waterways create vital habitats and enhance water quality, benefiting local communities and businesses like Highland Spring Drinking Water and Tullibardine Whisky Distillery.

Despite these challenges, the Paskaia Project marks a turning point in the tale of La Mosquitia’s rainforest. Through concerted efforts encompassing rural development, forestation management, and extensive collaboration, the rainforest is witnessing a remarkable revival. At the core of the project is an ambitious goal: to restore the degraded Savannah lands through regenerative reforestation techniques and to implement preventative measures against future wildfires, spearheaded by the community itself.

Local communities are the linchpin of the Paskaia Project, embracing sustainable land management practices that not only protect but also rejuvenate the rainforest. These practices are integral to the project’s vision, fostering a harmonious relationship between the people and their environment, and ensuring the forest’s resilience against future adversities.

Moreover, the project paves the way for innovative new Balance initiatives, creating a symbiotic relationship between large overseas companies and the local landowners. These initiatives not only contribute to global climate change mitigation efforts but also support the economic development of the local communities, empowering them as guardians of their verdant homeland.

The Paskaia Project is more than a conservation effort; it’s a movement towards ecological and community resilience. By restoring the forest cover and empowering local communities as stewards of their environment, the project promises a greener, more sustainable future for La Mosquitia. Join us in this journey of transformation, where every tree planted is a step closer to a restored, flourishing ecosystemt.
