Planting in the fringes in Scotland
This winter 2025-26, your funds are helping us plant 4,100 trees across projects to revitalise damaged land and boost aspen numbers in Renfrewshire.
Planting rare aspen
The trees.
These 4,100 trees will be planted at two projects. The first will reforest the borders of 4.5 hectares of conifer plantation for the benefit of wildlife and walkers; the second will reforest an area of former rough pasture. Tree species will include Scots Pine, Sessile Oak, Downy Birch, Alder, Hazel, Rowan, Eared Willow, Juniper & the rare and hard to grow Aspen.
Specialists at cloning Aspen
Our partners in this are Eadha Enterprises, a team who are dedicated to the propagation and planting of aspen trees across Scotland. From their nursery in Renfrewshire, they manage the national collection of aspen clones, producing thousands to support woodland creation and restoration projects. Aspen is 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.
