The first stages of a peatland and river restoration project covering 2,000 hectares near Balquhidder are underway.
Forth Rivers Trust has received development phase funding from the Scottish Government’s Nature Restoration Fund (managed by NatureScot) and Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park Authority to coordinate and develop the scheme at Ballimore, Glen Buckie, in the upper Teith catchment.
Peatland and river restoration, woodland creation and grazing management are all components of the project, which has just secured £67,163.50 from NatureScot.
