A farmer based in Sutherland is to grow the largest woodland to be approved by Scottish Forestry this century.
From end to end, the new 933 hectare woodland will stretch over 12km along Strath Carnaig, strengthening the current native woodland networks on a landscape scale.
Dornoch farmer, Ken Greenland, worked closely with Scottish Forestryâs Highland and Islands Conservancy team to approve the plan, which aims to increase the biodiversity of the Cambusmore estate.
