Carrifran Wildwood, Dumfries and Galloway. Carrifran is a magnificent 1,600-acre ice-carved valley in the Moffat Hills. The Wildwood project was started by a group of friends and theirsupporters who
TREE PLANTING FOR BUSINESSES There has never been a more important time for businesses to show real leadership and give back to nature. Trees for Life has been working with businesses for over 25 years to help rewild the Scottish Highlands, and offers a range of bespoke partnership options to organisations of all sizes.RED SQUIRREL DIET
Red squirrels are omnivores, meaning that they eat both plant and animal matter. The seeds of various trees make up the majority of their diet, with coniferous species such as Scots pine, lodgepole pine, Norway spruce and larch being important food sources in the UK. ECOLOGICAL SUCCESSION Succession is a key process in a healthy forest, and given a chance woodland can regenerate itself. As the vegetation reaches its climax, earlier stages may die out due to shade, but generally speaking, habitats get more diverse over time, and climax woodlands are especially rich ecosystems. In a really old and unmanaged woodlandthere is a lot
HABITAT FRAGMENTATION AND IT'S EFFECTS Habitat fragmentation is a major problem across the Earth. A decrease in the overall area of wild places is bad enough. But combined with fragmentation, it can undermine the integrity of whole ecosystems. Roads, urbanisation and agriculture are some of the main activities that break up natural areas. This often has disastrous impacts onwildlife.
BEAVER MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE The beaver is known in Gaelic as dobhran losleathan, meaning ‘broad-tailed otter’. The European beaver was hunted to extinction by the 18th century but it is now making a comeback in Scotland.. It is surprising how few Scottish beaver folktales there are when youthink about how

HOLLY TREE FACTS AND INFORMATION Holly is an evergreen, broadleaved tree in the Aquifoliaceae family, which consists of the single genus, Ilex, with over 400 species worldwide. In Scotland it typically grows up to 10 metres in height, although it can be as tall as 25 metres. Its trunk can be up to 40-80 cm. in diameter, but it frequently divides near the ground, givingrise to
ROWAN TREE FACTS AND INFORMATION Rowan is a fast-growing, short-lived pioneer tree in the rose family. It is a fairly small tree, reaching a maximum height of 10-15 metres, or exceptionally, 20 metres. It is slender in form, although mature trees can be quite substantial. An old rowan at Carnach Mor on the West Affric Estate has a trunk which is over 40 cm. in diameter. WILLOW TREE MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE Willow mythology and folklore. Most willow species thrive close to water or in damp places and a lot of willow folklore reflects this watery theme. The Moon too recurs as an association, the movement of water being affected by the Moon. In Scotland it was believed that harvesting willow during the waning Moon lowered the quality of thewood.
HAZEL TREE FACTS AND INFORMATION Hazel’s ability to produce multiple stems gives it a dense, spreading appearance and has led to its extensive use for coppicing. It is a short-lived tree, reaching 50-70 years in age, but if it is coppiced, either by people or naturally through damage to its trunks, it will live much longer. BOG MYRTLE FACTS AND INFORMATION Bog myrtle supports almost 70 species of phytophagous, or leaf-eating, insects, including a large number of moth caterpillars. In some parts of Scotland, the large invertebrate biomass on bog myrtle has been shown to be beneficial to black grouse (Tetrao tetrix) – a rare species that is a priority for conservation in the UK, and whose chicks depend on invertebrates as food for the first BIRCH MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE Birch or Beithe, is the first tree of the Ogham, the Celtic tree alphabet. It was celebrated during the festival of Samhain (what is now Halloween in Britain). Samhain was the start of the Celtic year, when purification was important and people used bundles of birch twigs to drive out the spirits of the old year. CHERRY TREE MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE The resin that oozes from the trunk was used by children as chewing gum. It is recorded as a treatment for coughs, and dissolved in wine was once used to treat gall and kidney stones. Cherry wood is hard and fine-grained so is a popular choice for turning. The large burrs with unusual grains which can appear on the trunk are prized by turners. ASH MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE Ash is also the second most popular tree growing beside Irish holy wells, and on the Isle of Man ash trees were said to protect the purity of springs.

However, within the UK their range and numbers have undergone a huge decline in the last century, and only approximately 121,000 remain today, 3/4 of which are in Scotland.MYCORRHIZAS
Some mycorrhizas may speed plant growth, stimulate fine root development and lengthen the life of the roots. They can also protect plants from drought, predators (such as nematode worms), and pathogens (micro-organisms that cause disease). Furthermore, in areas polluted by toxic heavy metals, fungi can buffer their plant partners againstharm.

CHERRY TREE MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE The resin that oozes from the trunk was used by children as chewing gum. It is recorded as a treatment for coughs, and dissolved in wine was once used to treat gall and kidney stones. Cherry wood is hard and fine-grained so is a popular choice for turning. The large burrs with unusual grains which can appear on the trunk are prized by turners.RED SQUIRREL DIET
Red squirrels are omnivores, meaning that they eat both plant and animal matter. The seeds of various trees make up the majority of their diet, with coniferous species such as Scots pine, lodgepole pine, Norway spruce and larch being important food sources in the UK. ASH MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE Ash is also the second most popular tree growing beside Irish holy wells, and on the Isle of Man ash trees were said to protect the purity of springs. In England the ash is the commonest tree as a place name element after the thorn. In British folklore the ash was creditedTREES FOR LIFE

HOLLY TREE FACTS AND INFORMATION Holly is an evergreen, broadleaved tree in the Aquifoliaceae family, which consists of the single genus, Ilex, with over 400 species worldwide. In Scotland it typically grows up to 10 metres in height, although it can be as tall as 25 metres. Its trunk can be up to 40-80 cm. in diameter, but it frequently divides near the ground, givingrise to
ROWAN TREE FACTS AND INFORMATION Rowan is a fast-growing, short-lived pioneer tree in the rose family. It is a fairly small tree, reaching a maximum height of 10-15 metres, or exceptionally, 20 metres. It is slender in form, although mature trees can be quite substantial. An old rowan at Carnach Mor on the West Affric Estate has a trunk which is over 40 cm. in diameter. BOG MYRTLE FACTS AND INFORMATION Bog myrtle supports almost 70 species of phytophagous, or leaf-eating, insects, including a large number of moth caterpillars. In some parts of Scotland, the large invertebrate biomass on bog myrtle has been shown to be beneficial to black grouse (Tetrao tetrix) – a rare species that is a priority for conservation in the UK, and whose chicks depend on invertebrates as food for the first WILLOW TREE MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE Willow mythology and folklore. Most willow species thrive close to water or in damp places and a lot of willow folklore reflects this watery theme. The Moon too recurs as an association, the movement of water being affected by the Moon. In Scotland it was believed that harvesting willow during the waning Moon lowered the quality of thewood.
OAK MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE Oak mythology and folklore. Throughout the major cultures of Europe people have held the oak tree in high esteem. To the Greeks, Romans, Celts, Slavs and Teutonic tribes the oak was foremost amongst venerated trees. In each case associated with the supreme god in their pantheon, oak being sacred to Zeus, Jupiter, Dagda, Perun and Thor BIRCH MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE Birch or Beithe, is the first tree of the Ogham, the Celtic tree alphabet. It was celebrated during the festival of Samhain (what is now Halloween in Britain).

In British folklore the ash was credited ASPEN MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE Of old the aspen was a tree of heroes, whose crowns of trembling leaves gave them the power not only to visit the Underworld, but also to return safely. Similarly, the aspen crowns people placed in ancient burial mounds may have been to allow the spirits of the deceased to return to be reborn. Aspis, the aspen’s Greek name, means shield and DWARF BIRCH FACTS AND INFORMATION Dwarf birch is a small shrub, growing up to one metre in height, although in Scotland today it is rarely reaches more than 30 cm., because of overgrazing. Its branches or twigs are a dull dark brown colour and are quite stiff. As with downy birch, the twigs are coveredin a fine down.
HAWTHORNE TREE FACTS Thomas the Rhymer, the famous thirteenth century Scottish mystic and poet, once met the Faery Queen by a hawthorn bush from which a cuckoo was calling. She led him into the Faery Underworld for a brief sojourn, but upon reemerging into the world of mortals he found he had been absent for seven years. Themes of people being waylaid by the faery folk to places where time passes differently are RED SQUIRREL: HABITAT AND DISTRIBUTION Red squirrels are found across much of Europe and northern Asia and the species is categorised by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) as Least Concern. However, within the UK their range and numbers have undergone a huge decline in the last century, and only approximately 121,000 remain today, 3/4 of which are in Scotland.MYCORRHIZAS
Some mycorrhizas may speed plant growth, stimulate fine root development and lengthen the life of the roots. They can also protect plants from drought, predators (such as nematode worms), and pathogens (micro-organisms that cause disease). Furthermore, in areas polluted by toxic heavy metals, fungi can buffer their plant partners againstharm.

Aspis, the aspen’s Greek name, means shield and HABITAT FRAGMENTATION AND IT'S EFFECTS Habitat fragmentation is a major problem across the Earth. A decrease in the overall area of wild places is bad enough. But combined with fragmentation, it can undermine the integrity of whole ecosystems. Roads, urbanisation and agriculture are some of the main activities that break up natural areas. This often has disastrous impacts onwildlife.
SCOTS PINE MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE Scots pine has a long and rich history in mythology. In The Golden Bough, James Frazer relates various stories involving pine trees from classical mythology, which may or may not have been Scots pines, such as how the ancient Egyptians buried an image of the god Osiris in the hollowed-out centre of a pine tree. RED SQUIRREL MONITORING Reporting any red or grey squirrels that you see is the easiest and most useful way that you can help red squirrels in the UK. The biggest current threat to red squirrels are non-native grey squirrels and the diseases they carry, so building up a picture of the distribution of both red and grey squirrels is the only way we can monitor how well BOTHY FOR RENT IN GLEN AFFRIC Athnamulloch bothy is a warm and comfortable base in the remote and wild heart of Glen Affric – often described as the most beautiful glen in Scotland and designated as a National Nature Reserve. Renovated in 2016, the bothy can accommodate groups of up to 12 people and is available for hire by any formally constituted club ororganisation.
ALDER MYTHOLOGY AND FOLKLORE In England alder was the preferred wood for clog making, possibly because it is a poor conductor of heat. The living wood of alder is a pale colour but it turns a deep orange when cut. This gave the impression of bleeding and led to all sorts of negative superstitions about the tree. The deep colour fades with time to a paler, richerbrown

HAZEL TREE FACTS AND INFORMATION Hazel’s ability to produce multiple stems gives it a dense, spreading appearance and has led to its extensive use for coppicing.
