February 2026

Weather: cold but bright Activity: moving trees

Winter is the time for moving bare root trees (as long as the ground’s not frozen or covered in 3 feet of snow!)

Right now we’re consolidating our downy willow specimens into a single seed stand. Having started with fewer than 30 genetic individuals, we now have around 150 locally sourced plants that we can use as seed and cutting sources.

This ensures that we’re planting out a genetically diverse mix, all of Cairngorms origin.
