Trees for Life | Skills for Rewilding

Trees for Life is proud to involve people in our rewilding work. Skills for Rewilding is our landmark three-year project to help 15 people from diverse backgrounds pursue a career in Scotland's conservation sector.
We encouraged applications from local young people, women wanting to work in traditionally male-dominated roles, and those looking for a career change. Many of the trainees are now working in the field, part of a growing rewilding movement and making it more inclusive.
This film focuses on the experiences of those who took part in the final year of the programme (2021-22).
Skills for Rewilding was made possible through funding provided by The National Lottery Heritage Fund.

Great to see you young ones take up an interest n this. Dundreggan needs a few wild hollowed out log beehives to give these young ones some company. I was born and bred in the highlands but now live in the Pacific Northwest and blessed to be living with an abundance of trees. I often use the Highlands as an example of why we need to protect our forests here. I find a lot of old honeybee nests in trees to study. Couldn’t do that in the Highlands. Maybe in 50 years that’ll. All be different with your efforts. Cheers.
