Lottery funding for Mar Lodge Estate
At the People’s Postcode Lottery Gala in March 2019, the Trust received £125,000 for the Woodlands for Wildlife Project on our Mar Lodge Estate NNR.
The funding will enable the Trust’s expert conservation team at the UK’s biggest National Nature Reserve carry out a range of important work to look after woodland, particularly their efforts to revive Caledonian pine.
Efforts will also be focused on protecting montane willow, twinflower and green shield moss – species which are all very important for the health of the reserve’s woodland and the insects, birds and animals that thrive there.
The funding will also support a programme of information and engagement events for the public, involving them in this work and helping them play their part in protecting Scotland’s natural heritage.
People’s Postcode Lottery awarded the funding at their annual charity gala held on 15 March, which was attended by George and Amal Clooney and Nicola Sturgeon.
