Planting in the fringes in Scotland
This winter 2025-26, your funds have helped us plant 4,100 trees across projects to revitalise damaged land and boost aspen numbers in Renfrewshire.
Breathing fresh life into woodland.
The Trees
These 4,100 trees are being planted at two projects to reforest -
3,400 are being planted at Wreas Wood, Renfrewshire to fringe the tracks & pathways of a 4.5 hectare conifer plantation.
700 are going to former rough grazing at Muirfauldhouse, Lochwinnoch, Renfrewshire.
Winter 25/26, Project One
Planting along the borders of a 4.5 hectare conifer plantation
Cash-cropping trees are a familiar and expanding feature in Scotland's landscape, but can look austere and are tough on wildlife. This winter our partners at Eadha Enterprises are planting a welcome variety of 3,400 CAP funded broadleaf trees within a 4.5 hectare sitka spruce plantation to help soften the impact of the next tree crop. The trees will help boost cover & provide forage for wildlife and will give walkers pathways to enjoy. The tree species mix includes Sessile Oak, Hazel, Rowan, Eared Willow, Juniper & the rare and notoriously tricky Aspen. Planting teams are voluntary and are out there in all conditions! A huge thanks goes to everyone involved, and also to the generous funders of this project. It has real impact.

Specialists at cloning Aspen
From their nursery in Renfrewshire, Eadha Enterprises produce and manage the national collection of aspen clones, producing thousands to plant at projects throughout Scotland. Aspen is hard to grow & uncommon because it flowers irregularly and is irresistible to sheep and deer.
As a social enterprise, Eadha brings together community volunteers, corporate teams and people of all ages to take part in hands-on planting days. Site visits are always welcome.
